My team is currently engaged in the development of functional ultrasound imaging (fUS) technology, which holds great promise for advancing both basic and clinical neuroscience research. Through collaboration with numerous partners across the globe, we are working on creating innovative hardware and software solutions for fUS. Our aim is to provide a more comprehensive perspective on brain circuits in both animals and humans, particularly in real-time scenarios.

At its core, our research delves into the intricate field of neurovascular coupling (NVC), seeking to unravel the intricate relationships between blood flow and neural activity. Our investigations target specific cell types, aiming to shed light on their roles within NVC. This exploration holds immense potential for enhancing our comprehension of various neurological conditions, such as aging, stroke, Alzheimer's Disease, and brain tumors, where NVC is often compromised.

The uniqueness of the fUS technology lies in its distinctive features, which allow for seamless integration with electrophysiology techniques and tools for comprehensive circuit interrogation. This combination offers novel avenues for gaining deeper insights into brain function, potentially leading to groundbreaking approaches for treating various brain-related disorders.
