Male Drosophila Visual System Connectome

Python

Computational analysis and 3D visualization for a Nature paper on the Drosophila optic lobe connectome.

neuView — Interactive Neuron Type Explorer

Python CLI tool that generates interactive HTML pages for neuron types using data from NeuPrint, with intelligent caching and multi-dataset support.

Visual Neuroscience Experiments

Freely Walking Optomotor Responses

Pipeline for designing, performing and analysing fruit fly behavioral experiments within an LED arena.

Rapid, Visually-Driven Decision Making in Mouse Models of Autism

A study on shared visual perception and avoidance deficits across genetically distinct autism mouse models.

Nested Receptive Field Protocol

Adaptive electrophysiology toolkit that dynamically generates stimuli based on real-time neural response analysis.

Developmental Neuroscience Experiments

Investigating Lgl1 function in brain development with MADM

Used the genetic tool Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) to determine the role of Lgl1 in cortical development.
