The Laboratory for Cortical Interneuron Systems Neuroscience
Our lab works on cortical interneurons, the short-range neurons that provide the sole source of inhibition in the cerebral cortex. Interneurons are highly diverse and act to regulate the flow of cortical information.
Systems Neuroscience of Cognition and Dementia Laboratory
The Hussaini Lab, led by Dr. Syed Abid Hussaini, takes a systems neuroscience approach to investigate the neurobiological underpinnings of learning and memory, with a specific focus on Alzheimer's disease.
The Laboratory for the Systems Neuroscience of Pain
The Mercer Lindsay lab is dedicated to dissecting the neural circuits that process pain and control movement, with a particular focus on the modulatory role of the endogenous opioid system within these circuits.
