The Sternson Lab at the University of California, San Diego investigates how neural circuits control appetite and motivated behavior. A major focus of the laboratory is the development of CaRMA imaging , an experimental framework that links large-scale measurements of neural activity in behaving animals to post hoc molecular identification of the same recorded neurons. We use advanced in vivo two-photon calcium imaging together with spatial transcriptomic and circuit-mapping approaches to determine how molecularly defined neural populations control food seeking, consumption, and satiety.…
