Research Activities The background and expertise of the faculty cover a broad range of fields within the neurosciences such as behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neuro- psychopharmacology, cell and molecular biology, circadian rhythms and sleep. Research among the faculty is especially strong in the following areas: transplantation and regeneration; the neurobiological bases of normal memory and of its dysfunction; aging; the neurobiological bases of degenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, Huntington’s disease and stroke and the pathophysiology of epilepsy. The faculty also have expertise and ongoing research in quantitative structural and functional imaging. Thus, depending on interest, numerous interdisciplinary research areas are available to the student.
