INDEPENDENT NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH

ArzolaResearch.

We investigate how experience changes the nervous system, and how those changes shape what happens next.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF SLEEP

Same total.Different pattern.

We map the architecture of sleep: its rhythms, interruptions, and transitions. The pattern is more than a total.

EXPERIENCE & LASTING CHANGE

What carriesforward?

We design experiments in adaptive behavior and stress recovery to test what experience leaves behind.

Cells in
context.

Recorded cell shapes share one continuous, comparative landscape, with illustrative placement and scale. Here, sources are grouped by origin, with each specimen’s species and preparation identified.

How to read the artwork

Research / Current work

Three ways to
test the question.

We map sleep dynamics, design tests of adaptive behavior, and develop assays for the effects of stress. Together, these projects ask how experience shapes the next response.
