Baker, Jim
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
My lab has closed and I now concentrate on teaching and assisting other motor systems labs. Our history is the study sensory-motor processing in vestibular and oculomotor systems, in mice and other ma... [more]
Balyasnikova, Irina
Professor of Neurological Surgery
Description of Interests
The Balyasnikova Lab primarily focuses on developing novel targeted and immunotherapeutic approaches for treating malignant brain tumors such as GBM and metastases. In particular, Dr. Balyasnikova is ... [more]
Bass, Joseph
Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism
Description of Interests
Our focus is on the role of the circadian system in the coordination of behavior and physiology applying genetic approaches to reveal how clocks function within the CNS and peripheral tissues to influ... [more]
Benjamin, Kynon J
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
Description of Interests
At the Health Equity for Advancing Research and Technology using Genomic Neuroscience (HEART-GeN) lab, we aim to improve therapeutics for underrepresented communities by investigating the influence of... [more]
Beutler, Lisa
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology, Metabolism and Molecular Medicine)
Description of Interests
My lab studies the neural dynamics and molecular mechanisms of nutrient-mediated gut-brain communication. Specifically, we are interested in how these processes help mediate energy homeostasis and how... [more]
Bevan, Mark
Professor of Neuroscience
Description of Interests
Our research is focused on the basal ganglia, a group of subcortical brain nuclei critical for the motivation, selection, and execution of action sequences and the primary site of dysfunction in psych... [more]
Bonakdarpour, Borna
Associate Professor of Neurology (Behavioral Neurology)
Description of Interests
1- Neurobiology of language impairment in aphasia and network-based interventions.2- Clinical application and investigation of efficacy of music interventions for neurologic patients.
Bozza, Thomas
Edgar C. Stuntz Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
Our lab explores how the mammalian olfactory system encodes information about the chemical world. We address this question by focusing on two complementary areas.Genetics: Olfactory sensory neurons ra... [more]
Braga, Rodrigo
Assistant Professor of Neurology (Epilepsy/Clinical Neurophysiology)
Description of Interests
Dr. Braga studies the functional organization of large-scale networks in association zones of the human brain. This research helps us to understand the mechanisms of human cognitive faculties, such as... [more]
Brat, Daniel
Professor and Chair of Pathology (Experimental Pathology and Neuropathology)
Description of Interests
The Brat Lab investigates mechanisms of glioma progression, including contributions from genetics and the tumor microenvironment. We have developed novel in vitro systems and models and pursued mechan... [more]
