Associate Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology
Our lab is interested in how organisms adapt to detect and respond to salient environmental signals based on their ecological or behavioral context. We... Read more about Nicholas W Bellono
Weighing about three pounds, the human brain contains billion of neurons that are wired together in complex but highly structured networks. Our laboratory... Read more about Randy Lee Buckner
Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Physics
Brain function emerges from the coordinated activity of large numbers of neurons. Traditional measurement approaches either probe individual neurons with...
The goal of our lab is to understand the neurobiological mechanisms of ecologically and evolutionarily relevant behaviors using techniques drawn from...
Neuroscientists have long been working to understand how biological structures can produce the complex behaviors that are generated by the nervous system.... Read more about Florian Engert
My lab is broadly interested in the mechanisms of signaling and transport across cellular membranes. Our research encompasses several protein families: Nramp... Read more about Rachelle Gaudet
My research aims to understand how richly structured knowledge about the environment is acquired, and how this knowledge aids adaptive behavior. I use a...
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
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-...
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
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 Ölveczky
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
Animals are intrinsically computational. We acquire sensory information about our environments, transform this information into neural representations and... Read more about Aravinthan Samuel
