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 Fink
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]
Fitzgerald, James
Associate Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
I am a theoretical neuroscientist with active interests in sensory processing, learning and memory, motor control, whole-brain dynamics, and neural networks. My lab combines first-principles theory, p... [more]
Franz, Colin
Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Description of Interests
Dr. Colin Franz, MD/PhD, is a physician and scientist at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab as well as an assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Northwestern University. He is the dir... [more]
Gallio, Marco
Associate Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
Our long term goal is to understand how sensory stimuli are used to build an internal representation of the physical world, and how this representation is in turn processed into our actions and behavi... [more]
GarcÃa-Añoveros, Jaime
Professor of Neuroscience, Neurology and Anesthesiology
Description of Interests
Transcription factors and chromatin modifications in neural development of inner ear and brain. With genetics, epigenomics and transcriptomics combined with neuroanatomy and neurophysiology we are lea... [more]
