Associate Director of the Program in Neuroscience Professor of Neurology
The goal of our laboratory is to understand the mechanisms that underlie synaptic plasticity in the developing and mature mammalian central nervous system...
Dr. Chen is a neurobiologist focused on the studying of underlying causes of neurodegeneration and the development of neural enhancement and regenerative...
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
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...
Bertarelli Professor of Translational Medical Science
We are interested in the gating of mechanically sensitive ion channels, which open in response to force on the channel proteins. We study these channels...
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...
My lab explores new strategies for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies such as Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Multi-...
Our group investigates the multifaceted influence of light on mammals. How does the retina produce visual information? How is this information processed...
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...
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
