This research investigates how the brain uses different decision-making strategies and how those strategies vary across individuals, including people with neurodivergent conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and ADHD. Using controlled game environments and brain imaging, the study maps neural decision-making circuits to better understand cognition, behavioural diversity, and potential therapeutic interventions.

This research improves neural implants for vision restoration by reproducing natural brain activity patterns. Using a two-way stimulation approach in the retina, electrical signals are optimized to activate neurons precisely. This enables more accurate visual perception, moving beyond crude light flashes toward meaningful vision, with potential to restore recognition of familiar faces.

This research investigates brain circuits that regulate sodium appetite and salt preference. By manipulating sodium-sensitive neurons and immune signaling pathways in mice, the study demonstrates how sodium craving can be altered without changing food composition, opening new possibilities for treating excessive sodium consumption and sodium-related cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
