The goal of my lab is to understand the role of corticolimbic areas in guiding attention to, and imagery, learning and memory of, motivationally-salient...
Even a single traumatic experience can trigger the onset of a negatively valenced affective state that persists for days to weeks. Adaptive properties of...
CNS injury, including spinal cord damage, stroke, and certain neurodegenerative diseases, can lead to permanent and devastating functional losses. Our primary... Read more about Larry I. Benowitz
The Carlezon lab is primarily interested in the biological basis and treatment of psychiatric illness, specifically nature/nurture issues as they relate...
We are interested in the mechanisms that direct development and degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates. We are focusing our...
Our group investigates the multifaceted influence of light on mammals. How does the retina produce visual information? How is this information processed...
The step-by-step differentiation of embryonic cells into different types of neurons lays the foundation for our sensory responses, motor commands, and...
The human brain is a highly organized structure containing myriad axon tracts that follow precise pathways and make predictable connections, yet only a...
My research focuses on pediatric brain tumors, particularly high-grade gliomas and other malignant brain tumors that are in greatest need of therapeutic... Read more about Mariella Filbin
Our broad interest is to understand how cell-cell signaling molecules set up spatial pattern, particularly in the formation of neuronal connections. We...
The brain creates memories and expectations through experience interacting with the world around it and decides what it will do with its future given what...

Our laboratory uses mouse molecular genetics, in vitro signaling approaches, circuit mapping, electrophysiological and behavioral analyses to gain... Read more about David Ginty
Cognition, perception, and behavior all rely on the activity of precisely organized networks of neurons. We have a strong understanding of the basic...
The brain, which represents 2% of the body mass but consumes 20% of the body energy at rest, is therefore highly dependent on oxygen and nutrients supply...
The goal of our research is to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the cellular diversity of the cortex and the precision of it...
