Integrative Neurobiology
Researchers in this area study neurogenesis
and synapse formation, axon growth and guidance to target tissues,
the formation and actions of neurotransmitters and hormones,
the structure and function of ion channels, signaling pathways
that alter neuronal excitability, and development of the olfactory
system.
