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...
Immune cell modulation is an attractive strategy for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. Inflammation is critical to protecting us from dangers...
GENETIC MANIPULATIONS IN THE FRUIT FLY FIGHT CLUB: Aggression is a nearly universal feature of the behavior of social animals. In the wild, it is used for...
We are interested in how cells in the visual system process information and in the functional organization of the visual system. We use complementary...
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...
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
