The Carlezon lab is primarily interested in the biological basis and treatment of psychiatric illness, specifically nature/nurture issues as they relate...
Dr. Cash's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying both normal and pathological cortical activity and developing novel neuroprosthetic (... Read more about Sydney Cash
We are interested in the mechanisms that direct development and degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates. We are focusing our...
Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunobiology
Our goal is to understand the role of neural-immune interactions in pain, host defense, and immunity. It is increasingly clear that microbes and immune...
Assistant Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology
A long-term goal of my laboratory is to address mechanisms of cellular fatty acid metabolism and their implication in neuronal functions. Fatty acids are... Read more about Jeeyun Chung
My lab explores new strategies for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies such as Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Multi-...
Only less than 2% of the human genome encodes proteins. The rest non-coding part has long been called ‘junk’ DNA. However, we found that some of the non-...
The human brain is a highly organized structure containing myriad axon tracts that follow precise pathways and make predictable connections, yet only a...
We seek to understand the mechanisms by which heterogenous cell types orchestrate synchronous network patterns for brain computations as fundamental as...
The molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in human disorders like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease remain mysterious, in part...
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
My research focuses on pediatric brain tumors, particularly high-grade gliomas and other malignant brain tumors that are in greatest need of therapeutic... Read more about Mariella Filbin
Our broad interest is to understand how cell-cell signaling molecules set up spatial pattern, particularly in the formation of neuronal connections. We...
