Jeremy R. Knowles Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Lichtman's research focuses on the study of neural connectivity and how it changes as animals develop and age. With his colleagues he has developed a number of... Read more about Jeff W. Lichtman
The rotation of the Earth subjects terrestrial organisms to daily light/dark cycles. To keep in sync with these geophysical oscillations, we have evolved...
We are interested in how cells in the visual system process information and in the functional organization of the visual system. We use complementary...
Max and Anne Wien Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology
Our laboratory is directed toward both 1) understanding molecular controls and mechanisms over neuron sub-type development, diversity, axon guidance-...
The human brain—and the diseases that afflict it—present unique challenges for experimental study, chief among them being tissue availability (only at...
The specific aims of the Majzoub laboratory's studies are to analyze beneficial and detrimental effects, and the regulation of, the mammalian stress...
Dorothy and Milton Flier Professor of Biomedical Science and Genetics
We are working to understand (i) how the human genome varies from person to person, and (ii) how inherited genome variation affects the biology of neurons...
The Megason Lab uses imaging-based systems biology to elucidate the systems level principles of animal development. We are particularly interested in long...
We are interested in the fundamental mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Over the past century-plus, research has revealed...
I became a scientist after learning that my wife, Sonia Vallabh, inherited a lethal genetic mutation in the PRNP gene from her late mother. Her mother had died... Read more about Eric Minikel
Raymond Leo Erikson Life Sciences Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology
We are interested in understanding the neural and algorithmic basis of odor-guided behaviors in terrestrial animals. To this end, we have developed behavioral... Read more about Venkatesh N Murthy
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
The Nuber lab is dedicated to studying one of the top-most genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease (PD) -- α-synuclein -- in unique PDlike mice.... Read more about Silke Nuber

We are interested in how motor skills are learned and generated by the brain. We study this in rodents, generalist motor learners with the capacity to master a... Read more about Bence Patrik Ă–lveczky
Our lab studies the development, function, and dysfunction of somatosensory and viscerosensory circuits that mediate our sense of touch and sensations...
Our research seeks to understand how protein synthesis at the synapse is used to facilitate experience-dependent changes in brain function. Advances in...
The overarching aim of our research is to advance our understanding of the neurobiology of depression and related disorders (e.g., bipolar disorders,...
My research program has a translational mission centered around the genetics of epilepsy. We recognize that epilepsy is a common condition with many causes and... Read more about Annapurna Poduri
Our research interests lie in understanding the mechanisms and clinical implications of brain plasticity. Auditory brain plasticity exhibits a fundamental... Read more about Daniel B. Polley
My lab studies visual recognition in the primate brain, as implemented by the electrophysiological activity of neurons in different areas of cortex. Our... Read more about Carlos Ponce
Our lab’s research focuses on experimental and computational approaches to understanding the neural correlates of consciousness in humans—specifically how...
My lab is developing new approaches to imaging brain cells and tissues using custom molecular probes that provide color in electron microscopy. We also have... Read more about Maxim Prigozhin
