Our team of neuroscience researchers is engaged in multiple studies exploring connections between the nervous system and behavior, health, and sensory processing. Current investigations focus on:
retinal neurobiology and ion channel roles in synaptic signaling
hormonal influences on behavior
vision studies in both healthy and diseased states
processes underlying synaptic transmission and plasticity
control mechanisms for neurotransmitter release
sensory signal conversion and processing by mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors
synaptic regulation of sensory functions
structure and activity patterns in neural networks
developmental organization of the olfactory system
neurological regulation of cardiac function
