Jafar joined the lab in 2023 as a post-doctoral fellow after completing a PhD in Neuroscience from the Univ. of Tehran, and a post-doctoral fellowship at McGill University. He specializes in behavioral training of non-human primates and is planning on developing a marmoset model of cerebellar disease.
Jafar's work has focused on Neuropixels recordings from the marmoset cerebellum during value-based decision-making. He is focusing on the information that the cerebellum receives regarding rewarding value of an action, and how it uses this information to control movements.
