Our Research Projects

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

Our lab is interested in identifying mutations and mechanisms that regulate the normal development and function of the human cerebral cortex.

Our work focuses on understanding how the brain develops and adapts to the external environment in health and disorders.

The Greenberg lab studies precisely how, at a molecular level, neuronal activity controls gene expression and connectivity in the brain
