Dr. White studied physics and mathematics at the University of Oregon (Honors College) as an undergraduate, but a long-standing fascination with the brain and how it generates things like thoughts, feelings, and behavior took him to graduate school in neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis. After pursuing postdoctoral research at Yale University, Dr. White came to NIMH where he started the Section on Neural Function (AKA, the White Lab) in 2002. His laboratory’s interest in the circuit-level organization of the fruit fly brain is guided by the desire to understand how a simple “mind” makes sense of its world, makes decisions, and takes meaningful action.
