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]
Bass, Joseph
Charles F. Kettering Professor of Medicine - Endocrinology
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]
Beeman, Mark
Professor of Psychology
Description of Interests
I research creative cognition and the cognitive and neural bases of how people solve problems with sudden insight. I investigate how problem solving and other cognition interacts with mood, attention ... [more]
Beutler, Lisa
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
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
Associate Professor of Neurobiology
Description of Interests
Mechanisms of monoallelic gene expression: Genes that impart cell type identity (such as antigen receptors) are frequently expressed from only one allele, so called monoallelic expression. In the olfa... [more]
Braga, Rodrigo
Assistant Professor of Neurology
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]
Bright, Molly
Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences
Description of Interests
The Applied Neuro-Vascular Imaging Lab (ANVIL) uses advanced MRI techniques to assess the interaction of neural activity and vascular physiology in healthy brains and neurological pathology. This invo... [more]
