Upcoming Events
Gastronauts is a focused group of researchers passionate about gut-brain matters. From food to mood, we are always thinking about how to tap into the gut to improve human health and the world we live in. Join us every First Tuesday of the month! read more about Gastronauts »

Gina Turrigiano studies mechanisms of homeostatic synaptic plasticity and the role of these stabilizing mechanisms in the development and function of the cortex. Her work has been instrumental in demonstrating the existance of "self-tuning" mechanisms that allow neurons and circuits to adjust their... read more about Neurobiology Invited Seminar Series »

My goal is to understand the function of neuronal circuits. By "circuit" I mean a brain structure with many neurons that has some anatomical and functional identity and exchanges signals with other brain circuits. Most of our work has focused on the retina and the olfactory bulb, with some... read more about The Ruth K. Broad Foundation Seminar Series on Neurobiology and Disease »
Sponsored by Ewald W. Busse Lectureship. In keeping with our ongoing commitment and dedication to patient safety, high-quality healthcare, and process improvement, a variety of activities are designed to facilitate improvement and enhance a culture of safety. Morbidity and Mortality (M&M)... read more about Morbidity and Mortality Conference »
Our interest is to understand how genetically-identified cell types and their projections drive behaviors essential for survival. Using the mouse as our model system, we apply optogenetics and chemogenetics to manipulate neuronal circuits in awake, behaving mice. In addition, we use a combination... read more about Neurobiology Invited Seminar Series »
The lab's goal is to understand the interplay of membrane-bound organelles, cytoskeletal structure, and metabolism as it relates to the organization and function of neurons, and the cells they interact with. On a small scale, we are interested in mapping out the spatial organization, stoichiometry... read more about The Ruth K. Broad Foundation Seminar Series on Neurobiology and Disease »
