NIH grant awarded to Dora Angelaki at NYU to study neural mechanisms of vestibular function and spatial navigation, focusing on head direction cells and multisensory integration, funded by NIDCD.
Description
This NIH-funded project investigates the neural mechanisms underlying vestibular function and spatial navigation, focusing on head direction cells and multisensory integration. The project is led by Dora Angelaki at New York University and funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multisensory properties of the spatial navigation circuit, involving genetic and optogenetic manipulation of cerebellar regions.
