DeCaen, Paul
Assistant Professor of Pharmacology
Description of Interests
Pharmacology of neuronal targets and the structural biophysics of ion channels
DeVries, Steve
Professor of Ophthalmology
Description of Interests
We study signal processing in both the outer and inner retina. In the outer retina, we focus on how signals are transformed at the cone photoreceptor to Off bipolar cell synapse. My lab was the first ... [more]
Dewald, Julius P
Professor and Chair of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
Our Neuroimaging and Motor Control Laboratories are dedicated to understanding motor recovery following stroke, in learning the role of brain plasticity in recovery, and in developing novel therapeuti... [more]
Dhar, Sumit
Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders
Description of Interests
Our current work has two main directions. We are interested in understanding the physiological mechanisms responsible for the generation and propagation of sounds that are generated in the inner ear a... [more]
Dombeck, Daniel
Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
The neuronal activity underlying mammalian spatial navigation represents one of the most striking examples of behavioral correlation in the brain. Dr. Dombeck’s lab is interested in the cellular and c... [more]
Dong, Hongxin
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Description of Interests
Laboratory of Translational Neurobiology led by Dr. Dong focuses on the interaction of genetic and environmental influences on aging and their relevance to the neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly... [more]
Elbaz-Eilon, Benayahu
Assistant Professor of Neurology
Description of Interests
We are investigating the mechanisms that regulate myelin-forming cell development and function. Myelin is a multilayer lipid membrane structure that ensheaths and insulates axons, allowing for the eff... [more]
Ellis, Michael
Associate Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Description of Interests
My research employs several innovative methods designed to elucidate neural mechanisms underlying impaired movement, deliver targeted restorative therapies, and evaluate processes of recovery in indiv... [more]
Ferreira, Adriana
Associate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology
Description of Interests
The long-term goal of my research is to understand, from a cell and molecular biological perspective, how mammalian central neurons establish and maintain specific synaptic connections.
Fink, Andrew
Assistant Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
Our research addresses a deep, yet poorly understood problem that straddles cognitive neuroscience and mechanistic neurobiology. How does an organism learn the structure of its world? What objects are... [more]
