Research experience before PiN: Characterized a newly identified, transient population of Kisspeptin neurons during an early-life activation of...
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...
The central focus of our laboratory is to elucidate the molecular and developmental mechanisms that govern the midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) system in both health and disease. This foundational research anchors our bench-to-bedside philosophy, driving the...
Our research focuses on identifying how cell biological processes are disrupted in Parkinson's disease and aging, with the overarching goal of our work to identify novel biomarkers and neuroprotective strategies for Parkinson's disease, as well as other...
The overarching aim of our research is to advance our understanding of the neurobiology of depression and related disorders (e.g., bipolar disorders, anxiety). The ultimate goal of this work is to identify novel targets for prevention and treatment. We...
The goal of our lab is to advance our understanding of the molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience mechanisms which underlie neuropsychiatric disease. I have focused on the neurobiology of fear in mouse models and the pathophysiology of fear...
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 restoration of new neurons and glia in the brain. We have three major lines of research:
(1) Lipid...
