Research Labs

  • Neurophysiology of Osmoregulation

    We study how the mammalian brain monitors the ratio of salt to water (fluid osmolality) via special neurons called osmoreceptors.

    Charles Bourque Lab

  • Dystrophin Associated Proteins in Synapse Formation and Muscular Dystrophy

    The work at our lab is aimed at understanding the role of dystroglycan, dystrophin and associated proteins in muscle function/dysfunction, and in synaptic transmission.

    Salvatore Carbonetto Lab

  • CNS and peripheral nerve injury and disease

    We investigate the cellular changes and molecular mechanisms that trigger, as well as, switch off inflammation after CNS (spinal cord) and peripheral nerve injuries, the role of PLA2 in multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative disease.

    Samuel David Lab

  • TNFα in the synaptic plasticity

    We study TNFα regulation of synaptic plasticity and neuronal function in disease and trauma.

    David Stellwagen Lab

  • Neural Circuit Formation

    We focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that allow neural circuits to wire up with precision.

    Brian Chen Lab

  • Synaptic Plasticity of Cortical Circuits

    We study how the brain stores information via changes in the connective strength among neurons.

    Jesper Sjöström Lab

  • Nervous System Development and Function

    We study the importance of neuron-glial interactions, and the patterned growth and guidance of axons and dendrites.

    Don van Meyel Lab

  • Synapse Morphology and Function

    We focus on cellular and molecular pathways that regulate the morphology and function of synapses.

    Keith Murai Lab

  • Neuronal Circuit Formation and the Neural Basis of Behaviors

    We study axon guidance and targeting, and neural circuits controlling directional movement and aggression.

    Yong Rao Lab
