Neuroscience
Dr.
Michael Hadfield - the chemosensory mechanisms of marine
slugs, with a special emphasis on finding and characterizing the
major gene family that specifies chemoreceptor proteins.
Dr.
Daniel Hartline - neuroethology and neuroecology of zooplankton
(mechano- and chemoreception in copepods); computational properties
of network neurons; and computational studies of space clamp errors
in point-clamp experiments.
Dr.
Petra Lenz (Associate Faculty) - the relationship between
physiological and structural properties of mechanosensory systems
in copepods and its relation to behavior and ecology.
Dr.
Steven Robinow - genetic and hormonal regulation of nervous
system development in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster,
particularly how developmental signals such as hormones, nuclear
receptors, trophic factors and synaptic contacts regulate gene expression
to control nervous system development and function.
