Postdoc: Robyn Branicky
Robyn is studying how the
egg-laying circuit generates behaviour. She is using genetics, calcium imaging,
and pharmacology to understand the roles of particular neurons and neurotransmitters
in the function of this motor circuit.
Postdoc: Ithai Rabinowitch
Ithai is studying cross-modal behavioural
plasticity. He is also working new approaches for imaging neural activity during
behaviour.
Postdoc: Yoshinori Tanizawa
Yoshinori is interested in the effects of monoamines on behavioural states.
email: Yoshinori
Postdoc:Andre Brown
Andre is studying mechanosensory neurons and their
contributions to behaviour.
Graduate
Student: Marina Ezcurra
Marina is interested in nociception, and how sensation and adaptation to noxious
stimuli are affected by neuropeptides and other modulators.
