Biography

Kate Hong's research interests include systems neuroscience, characterization of neural circuits, diseases & disorders, sensation & perception, behavioral methods, computational, mathematical & statistical methods and physiological & anatomical methods. Her work combines animal behavior, high-speed imaging, motion tracking, in vivo electrophysiology and optogenetic methods to determine how cortical and subcortical activity cooperate to mediate (tactile) sensory-motor transformations in parallel, providing a foundation for understanding behavioral deficits and recovery mechanisms associated with cortical injury.
