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
Motivational states are the brain's way of matching our behaviors to our needs and capacities: we eat when we're hungry and sleep when we're sleepy—but we...
Frank Baldino, Jr., Ph.D. Professor of Sleep Medicine
Dr. Czeisler has more than 40 years' experience in the field of basic and applied research on the physiology of the human circadian timing system and its... Read more about Charles Czeisler
The goal of our lab is to understand the neurobiological mechanisms of ecologically and evolutionarily relevant behaviors using techniques drawn from...
Every decision and behavior is haunted by uncertainty, introduced by the noisy and ambiguous nature of the world that surrounds us. Despite this, we make...
The step-by-step differentiation of embryonic cells into different types of neurons lays the foundation for our sensory responses, motor commands, and...
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
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
