Making the connections

Our neuroscience research team is working on a variety of projects that make important links between the nervous system and behavior, health and sensory function. Our projects include:

• retinal neurobiology and ion channel function in synaptic communication
• hormones and behaviour 

• visual function in health and disease

• mechanisms of synaptic transmission and plasticity 

• regulation of neurotransmitter release
• sensory transduction and information encoding by mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors
• synaptic modulation of sensory processes
• neural network structure and dynamics
• organization of the developing olfactory system
• neural control of the heart
