Internal and external senses
We study internal sensory systems using molecular and genetic approaches. The vagus nerve is an essential body-brain communication axis that controls vital functions of the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, and immune...
The main focus of research in my lab is on forebrain oscillations in rodent models of psychiatric diseases. These represent dimensional constructs relevant to human mental disorders. In particular, partial models of schizophrenia exhibit the animal...
Our goal is to understand molecular mechanisms that underlie functions and plasticity of release sites for neurotransmitters and neuromodulators.
Neurons predominantly communicate through fast neurotransmission at synapses. Synaptic and neuronal activity...
The Carlezon lab is primarily interested in the biological basis and treatment of psychiatric illness, specifically nature/nurture issues as they relate to the brain and the basic processes by which the brain develops and is modified in response to...
My lab explores new strategies for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and related synucleinopathies such as Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Multi-System Atrophy (MSA) and, to some extent, also Alzheimer's disease (AD). These diseases are...
