The book gradually leads the reader from a macroscopic view of cortical anatomy and a description of standard electrophysiological properties of single neurons to neural network models and synchronous ...

Determining how neural circuit function emerges from precise synaptic connectivity. Determining the molecular mechanisms that establish connectivity within circuits. Designing genetic based tools to ...

Researchers from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences have uncovered the first example of ...

McGavock, Professor and professor of molecular physiology and biophysics, also supports a novel role for leptin in specifying the development of neural circuits involved in autonomic regulation ...

“We found that netrin1, which we’ve long known as a powerful architect of neural circuits, has an entirely unanticipated role in organizing the spinal cord during early development.
