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...
The brain creates memories and expectations through experience interacting with the world around it and decides what it will do with its future given what...
I study the effects of cannabis use on addiction and other health outcomes, as well at the intersection between cannabis and mental health. My research... Read more about Jodi Gilman
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...
Andreas is interested in connectivity and causality in the brain and focuses on how deep brain stimulation impacts distributed brain networks. He aims to...
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
