Day Lab
The Day Lab's goal is to understand how experience alters the brain, and how those changes drive future behaviors. We approach this broad topic at diverse levels of analysis that integrate molecular, genetic, and epigenetic tools with techniques that probe the function of single neurons and entire neuronal circuits.
Visscher Lab
The Visscher Lab studies human behavior and brain activity using precise behavioral measurements (including psychophysics and tracking of eye movement), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).
Goldberg Lab
The Goldberg Lab is an outstanding training environment for students, postdocs and other lab members to collectively achieve the overall research mission, which is to understand how genetic mutations cause inherited forms of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Herskowitz Lab
The Herskowitz Lab conducts research on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and is committed to identifying better therapeutic targets and finding more effective treatments for these devastating disorders.
Knight Neuroimaging Lab
The Knight Neuroimaging Lab's research is focused on better understanding the neural systems that mediate learning, memory, and emotion processes.
Lahti Neuroimaging and Translational Research Laboratory (NTRL)
The Lahti Neuroimaging and Translational Research Laboratory's (NTRL) main goal is utilizing multimodal brain imaging techniques (PET, fMRI, DTI, MR Spectroscopy) to study the neuropathology of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and to evaluate the effects of psychotropic drugs on brain function and biochemistry.
Lubin Lab
The Lubin Lab's research is focused on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation of genes in the nervous system to mediate cognition and how these mechanisms are altered with aging and cognitive disorders including epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.
McMahon Lab
The McMahon Lab is investigating the mechanisms by which muscarinic and adrenergic receptors modulate synaptic function and plasticity in hippocampus and visual cortex.
Meador-Woodruff Lab
The Meador-Woodruff Lab's primary research interest is on understanding how different parts of the brain communicate with other parts via a variety of chemical signals, and how this communication is disrupted in schizophrenia. Their current focus is on studying the expression of the genes encoding the receptors for the neurotransmitters, dopamine and glutamate, within individual cells in the nervous system.
Roberson Lab
The Roberson Lab's mission is to understand the neurobiology of age-related conditions affecting cognition, including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and cognitive aging, and to contribute to developing new treatments for these conditions.
Standaert Lab
The main objective of the Standaert Lab is to address the role of genetic and epigenetic factors in Levodopa induced dyskinesia.
Wadiche Laboratories of Synaptic Physiology
Research in the labs of Linda Overstreet-Wadiche and Jacques Wadiche focuses on studying the function and regulation of synaptic transmission.
