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
We seek to understand the mechanisms by which heterogenous cell types orchestrate synchronous network patterns for brain computations as fundamental as...
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
Program Director, Speech and Hearing Bioscience and Technology (SHBT) Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery
Sensory hair cells of the inner ear transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical signals which are transmitted to the brain. The primary goal of my research is... Read more about Gwenaëlle Géléoc
Professor of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery
Sensory transduction converts stimulus information into electrical information and is at the interface between the world around us and the brain. To...
Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery
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
