Focused on Research
The Neuroscience Group is comprised of 13 faculty members whose research areas include:
- Motor control
- Learning and memory
- Cellular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity
- Functional recovery from stroke
- Neuroendocrine control of behavior
- Computational neuroscience
- Neural control of respiration
The group has been funded since 2000 receiving more than $17 million for a Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) on Neural Mechanisms of Adaptive Behavior.
