Neurons have the amazing ability to self-organize into highly refined networks. I am interested in how these networks form. I am especially interested in the molecular pathways underlying this process ...

We are broadly interested in the question of how interactions between cells within the brain (particularly between astrocytes and neurons) influence physiology and behavior. Astrocytes are the major ...

It encompasses the evolution, development, cellular and molecular biology, physiology ... and includes different subtypes of neuron that need to be specified during development.

The neuron? The cortical column ... If McCulloch and Pitts had happened to have offices down the hall from the synaptic physiology laboratory of Bernard Katz, might their basic formulation ...

Neuroscientists use cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other disciplines, to map the brain at a mechanistic level. Humans have an estimated ...

In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka made a groundbreaking discovery that would win him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate electric spikes, similar to neurons. Sahana is a science journalist and an intern ...

Teaching/research interests: Anatomy and physiology of the visual system (VIS 613), optics ... anatomical approaches to delineate how visual signals are transformed from neuron to neuron at early ...
