Motivational psychology from an engineering perspective with biological contraints. Behavioral modeling. Resonance Raman spectroscopy of neurotransmitters. Artificial neural networks.

The lab studies hormonal modulation of the developing and adult nervous system that leads to changes in behavior. Using a range of rodent species, the lab tries to understand which cells directly respond to the hormone, which genes are regulated in those cells, and how the structure and function of the cell changes as a consequence of that gene regulation

Simon Laughlin addresses optimal coding, the cost of action potentials and more generally relates the properties of nervous systems to ethological optimisation and constraints

Studies how people use statistical methods when solving cognitive problems.

The Tsien lab does research on synaptic transmission, signal transduction, and pathophysiology of calcium channels.

The Raymond lab does research on the mechanisms of motor learning in a simple cerebellar task.
