Neuroscience is one of the newest and most exciting areas of study in the sciences. It integrates aspects of both biology and psychology in the investigation of the brain and behavior.
Professor Horch's research focuses on mechanisms of neuronal regeneration in simple model systems such as the cricket and crayfish.
Professor Honeycutt's research investigates sex differences in the development of neural and behavioral pathology involved in emotional [dys]function in a translational rat model of early life adversity.
Professor Powell's research currently focuses on how neural circuits that control rhythmic behaviors are affected by naturalistic perturbations such as temperature and salinity.
Professor Nyhus' research focuses on the neural processes involved in higher-level cognition, including executive functioning and episodic memory.
Professor Diaz-Rios studies the effects of environmental stressors on the central nervous system and how neuromodulators affect locomotor activity in mice.
