Group A

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience

  1. We study molecular mechanisms of neural development, neural signaling and neural circuit plasticity.
  2. We also use non-human primates as an animal model to study the neural circuitry, function, and coding underlying visual perception; and as a platform for development of a brain-machine interface.
  3. We create animal models for psychological diseases and study the behavioral origin of depression and aggression.
  4. We study the molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease and spino-cerebellar ataxia.
  5. We also study neural protection of astrocytes and micro-glia cells and are developing methods for neural regeneration.
