    Neuronal electrical signaling, ion channels, pacemaking, and neuropharmacology

    Investigate the electrical firing and physiology of neuronal ion channels

  2. Azad Bonni, MD, PhD

    Neuronal cell development; glioblastoma

    Investigate key intracellular signaling pathways in neuronal cell development and maturation as well as in brain tumors such as glioblastoma  

  3. Florian Engert, PhD

    Neural basis of behaviors in vertebrates

    Identify the neural circuits that control specific behaviors in vertebrates; Examine these neural circuits in molecular and cellular detail to understand how neural activity controls innate behavior.

  4. 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 ...

    Cell biology of neuronal connectivity: axon guidance; synapse; signaling mechanisms

    Studies on axon guidance and synapse formation in metazoans such as Drosophila that are in many cases directly relevant to mammalian cells.  

  6. Gary Yellen, PhD

    Ion channel structure and function; epilepsy; fluorescent biosensors

    Study the function of ion channels, such as  the voltage-dependent K+ and pacemaker channels; explore the molecular basis of dietary therapy for epileptic seizures.
