Adaptive Physiology Lab (WPI-IIIS)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores how the brain processes mental and physical states and external stimuli.
AboutAbout the lab
How the brain processes information about mental and physical states and the environment
The Adaptive Physiology Lab studies how information about internal mental and physical states, and about external circumstances and stimuli, is processed in the brain.
Living organisms adapt, both consciously and unconsciously, to their internal states and to external circumstances and stimuli.
For example, food that goes unnoticed when one is full draws more attention and desire when one is hungry.
On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Liu/Sakurai Lab."
Key terms
- Internal state
- The state inside the body and mind, such as physical, physiological, and mental conditions. The sleep-wake state is one example.
- Neural circuits
- The pathways along which neurons in the brain connect with one another and exchange information.
- Multilevel
- Studying across multiple levels, such as genes, cells, neural circuits, and behavior.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab seeks to uncover the mechanisms by which information about internal states and external circumstances and stimuli is processed in the brain. It is currently preparing to launch research on how taste and pain information is processed.
