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 goal of our laboratory is to understand the mechanisms that underlie synaptic plasticity in the developing and mature mammalian central nervous system...
Our group investigates the multifaceted influence of light on mammals. How does the retina produce visual information? How is this information processed...
The human brain is a highly organized structure containing myriad axon tracts that follow precise pathways and make predictable connections, yet only a...
Neurons acquire multiple functional properties through an experience-dependent development during a limited time in early postnatal life (“critical periods”).... Read more about Michela Fagiolini
Certain basic cognitive processes are central to navigating the world around us. Attention, for example is important for almost all of our conscious actions,... Read more about Brielle Ferguson

The Koehler Lab focuses on understanding the development and regeneration of sensory organs. Our primary goal is to elucidate how cells from various...
The long-term interest of my research is to bridge molecular, cellular, and system approaches to understand the neuronal modulation and circuitry involved in... Read more about Dong Kong
Our lab is interested in elucidating how neural circuits compute and building biologically-inspired Artificial Intelligence. To this end, we combine behavioral... Read more about Gabriel Kreiman
The rotation of the Earth subjects terrestrial organisms to daily light/dark cycles. To keep in sync with these geophysical oscillations, we have evolved...
The specific aims of the Majzoub laboratory's studies are to analyze beneficial and detrimental effects, and the regulation of, the mammalian stress...
I have more than 25 years of experience working in the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience. My laboratory employs a variety of behavioral and... Read more about Charles A Nelson
