The goal of the Rogulja lab is to understand how the brain reversibly switches between waking and sleep states, and why we need to sleep in the first place.
We discovered ligands for many TAARs, including ethological odors derived from carnivores, male mice, and carrion that evoke innate aversion or attraction responses.
The Anderman lab studies how the needs of the body determine which sensory cues are attended to, learned, and remembered. In particular, we investigate how natural and experimentally induced states of hunger modulate neural representations of food cues
The goal of our research is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying BBB function and neurovascular coupling.
