Biography
Dr. Soohyun Lee received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh, where she studied motor modulation of cortico-thalamic circuits in the rodent somatosensory system with Dr. Dan Simons. During a postdoctoral fellowship with Drs. Bernardo Rudy and Gord Fishell at New York University, she worked on the diversity and functional circuitry of GABAergic neurons in the neocortex. Dr. Lee joined NIMH as a principal investigator of the Unit on Functional Neural Circuits in the summer of 2016.
Research Interest
reciprocal interactions between sensation, action as function of internal brain states
