Sam Kunes, PhD
Genetic and Biochemical Studies of Memory
Prof. Kunes’ laboratory investigates the molecular and cellular bases of memory, focusing on novel biochemical mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and localizing their activities in the brain. ...

Jeff Lichtman, PhD
Structure and function studies of neuronal development and neural connections
In order to better understand the way information about the world is stored in the brain and what form that information takes we generate neuronal maps, connectomes, and investigate the mechanisms ...

Joshua Sanes, PhD
Brain information processing and synaptic architecture
Synapses are the main information processing sites in the brain. Defects in their function underlie many neurological and behavioral disorders, and there is increasing evidence that many of these ...
