The goal of my lab is to understand the role of corticolimbic areas in guiding attention to, and imagery, learning and memory of, motivationally-salient...
We are a collaborative group of genome editing scientists at the Translational Neuroscience Center of Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical...
We are interested in the mechanisms that direct development and degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates. We are focusing our...
The step-by-step differentiation of embryonic cells into different types of neurons lays the foundation for our sensory responses, motor commands, and...
The human brain is a highly organized structure containing myriad axon tracts that follow precise pathways and make predictable connections, yet only a...
Our broad interest is to understand how cell-cell signaling molecules set up spatial pattern, particularly in the formation of neuronal connections. We...
Edward R. and Anne G. Lefler Professor of Neurobiology
Our laboratory uses mouse molecular genetics, in vitro signaling approaches, circuit mapping, electrophysiological and behavioral analyses to gain... Read more about David Ginty
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...
The major research interest of our laboratory is the genetic control of the development and behavior of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with the goal of... Read more about H Robert Horvitz
The goal of our laboratory is to prevent the causes of brain degeneration and loss of neuronal function. In addition, we aim to repair brain function by...
Nicholas T. Zervas Endowed Chair and Associate Professor
The cortex develops hand-in-glove with its cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled ventricles whose walls harbor neural stem cells (NSCs) destined to become  neurons... Read more about Kristopher Kahle
