I am currently working with the University of California, San Francisco on a basic neuroscience research program focusing on Ingestive Behavior in Serotonin Receptor Mutant Mice. Study Section: Special Emphasis Panel (ZRG1-IFCN-1 (01). The Laboratory employs mouse molecular genetic approaches to explore the manner in which the brain serotonin system modulates complex behavior, with a particular focus on mood, and patterns of physical activity and feeding. Toward this end, we are modeling “mouse lifestyles” through the development of “behavioral informatics” tools that reveal patterns in high resolution behavioral datasets. Quantitative behavioral pattern assessment provides a powerful bioassay for enhancing assessment of serotonergic and other experimental manipulations on brain function and pathophysiological processes in animal models.

The research approach combines molecular genetic technologies in mice (the mammalian species of choice for gene manipulation) It collects "mouse lifestyle" data; i.e. continuous high-resolution monitoring of the diverse behaviors that mice express in their home cages. These data (600,00 data points per mouse, per day) are then subjected to the first ever bioinformatics-based approach that reveals fundamental building blocks of behavioral regulation and their coordinated regulation. Our analyses result in the discovery of "behavioral fingerprints" reflecting influences of genes, drugs and environment on brain function. For example, we've detected behavioral fingerprints of treatment with Prozac, cocaine, diet drug, changes in dietary fat, and long-term impact of abnormal pup rearing by negligent mutant mouse moms.
