Research Focus
Dr. Robijanto Soetedjo's lab at the University of Washington studies how the cerebellum processes signals that control eye movements known as saccades. By examining the neural circuits involved in these movements, particularly how specific cells contribute to their timing and direction, the lab aims to uncover fundamental insights into motor control. This research could lead to improved rehabilitation strategies for people with movement disorders.

Research Aims
5AIM 01Investigate how the cerebellum processes eye movement signals during saccades.
AIM 02Examine the role of Purkinje cells in directing saccade dynamics.
AIM 03Identify the differences in processing between contraversive and ipsiversive saccades.
AIM 04Utilize optogenetic stimulation to manipulate inputs and record neural activity during eye movements.
AIM 05Explore how direction-specific processing in the cerebellum informs motor control.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
