Computational, Systems and Developmental Neuroscience

Welcome to the Goodhill Lab

We are interested in understanding the computational principles that underlie brain development, using a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches. We use the larval zebrafish as a model to understand the links between the development of patterns of brain activity and complex behaviors, how the development of brain and behavior is altered in Autism Spectrum Disorders, and sleep. We also analyze human video data to better understand the early development of autism. Members of the lab come from diverse backgrounds including biology, mathematics, physics and engineering.
