Baldwin, Kristin K.
studies the sense of smell by genetically visualizing the neural circuits of the mouse olfactory system and uses mouse cloning and stem cell technology to investigate the molecular mechanisms that govern neural circuit formation and function throughout the nervous system.
Cline, Hollis
studies the analysis of the activity-dependent control of cell proliferation, neuronal development and circuit formation in the visual system using gene transfer, in vivo imaging and electrophysiological techniques.
Kenny, Paul John
employs a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the underlying neurobiology of psychiatric disorders.
Koob, George F.
Investigates the neurobiological basis of emotional behavior focused on the theoretical constructs of reward and stress. His work explores the neural bases of motivation, reinforcement, behavioral responses to stress, and addiction.
Roberto, Marisa
uses in vitro electrophysiological techniques to understand the effects of abused drugs and neuropeptides on neuronal function and synaptic transmission.
Roberts, Amanda J.
investigates the neural bases of motivated behaviors such as drug self-administration, exploratory drive, and feeding.
Siggins, George R.
uses extracellular, intracellular, and patch recording of neurons in vitro to study mechanisms of synaptic transmission and neuronal function and to understand the effects of neuropeptides, abused drugs, and neuropathologic insults.
