菲利普斯实验室 金伯利·菲利普斯的研究考察了社会, 神经内分泌, and brain microvascular contributions to age-related cognitive changes in primates. Phillips also has an appointment as Core Scientist at the Southwest National Primate 研究 Center, where she conducts these studies on neurological basis of behavior.
钧诚实验室 Cheng’s work focuses on understanding the underlying physical mechanisms that cause neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. 他在澳门金沙线上赌博官网有一个强大的计算集群, 并获得了大量的超级计算机时间, 运行分子动力学模拟. He is currently preparing to set up a single molecule spectroscopy laboratory in the new Center for Sciences and Innovation.
Beaudoin实验室 Gerard Beaudoin is using a variety of disciplines to study dopaminergic neurons, 神经元对学习动机行为至关重要. 在这里, students can help study the effects of cocaine on the structure and function of synapses on dopaminergic neurons by seeing and stimulating neurons from disparate brain areas using light, 通过一种叫做光遗传学的技术.
梁实验室 KC Leong focuses on elucidating the neural mechanisms that drive negative emotional processes and how this affects the alcohol addiction and sugar seeking behavior. His research combines rodent behavioral models with techniques in neuropsychopharmacology and molecular neuroscience to try and determine the underlying mechanisms through which stress and anxiety interacts with addiction. 的se projects provide valuable insight into how emotional disorders, 比如创伤后应激障碍, can have such a profound impact on the 发展 and maintenance of addiction and addictive behaviors
