The Ebner laboratory is interested in how information in the brain is represented spatially and temporally in populations of neurons. The Ebner lab investigates both kinematic and dynamic movement parameters, recording the activity of neurons in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex during motor behaviors.
Using a range of techniques, including flavoprotein fluorescence, unit recordings, and calcium imaging, the Ebner lab works to understand how single neurons and populations of neurons encode the information needed to plan and execute limb movements, and to examine abnormalities in the cerebellar cortex in the spinocerebellar and episodic ataxias.
