SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS AND GOALS

I am interested to know how millions of individual nerve cells interact in order to output intellectual behavior, cognition and physiological responses. I am also particularly intrigued to know the molecular basis of some neurological disorders and to find a way to overcome them.
