Huiling started her career in neuroscience research in 2010 upon joining Professor Peter Brown’s Group. Her research is focused on the role of the basal ganglia in purposeful movement, and how information important for motor control and motor learning is represented, processed and transmitted in different networks of the brain, including the motor cortex and the basal ganglia. Her recent work has revealed how frequency-specific neuronal oscillations, as reflected in the local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from the human basal ganglia, contribute to encoding motor effort, uncertainty-weighted prediction error and other movement-related information. She is also defining how inappropriate neuronal oscillations are associated with and can lead to symptoms in different movement disorders, in particular, Parkinson’s disease.
