Stanford Profile

Dr. Sean Quirin's laboratory develops minimally invasive methods to explore the causal role individual neurons play in the emergence of behavior. To this end, the lab's strength is the development of in vivo techniques which manipulate light to both detect and restoratively modulate brain activity down to the single-neuron scale.
