Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology Labs

Bickford Lab
The Bickford Lab studies neural circuits that transmit visual signals and drive motor responses, using advanced imaging, genetics, and electrophysiology to understand visual pathways.
Borghuis Lab
The Borghuis Lab investigates synaptic and circuit mechanisms of parallel processing in the mouse visual system, explaining how distinct retinal pathways encode visual information.
Hubscher Lab
The Hubscher Lab examines neural circuits controlling pelvic organ function and how spinal cord injury affects them, developing therapies to improve recovery and clinical outcomes.
Krimm Lab
The Krimm Lab explores how peripheral sensory neurons organize the taste system, studying how genetic, structural, and functional differences shape gustatory signaling.
Lundy Lab
The Lundy Lab studies how the brain assigns reward value to taste stimuli, revealing neural mechanisms behind motivation, pleasure, and behaviors like hunger and addiction.
Moore Lab
The Moore Lab investigates regulation of pituitary gonadotropin hormones and PACAP’s role in reproductive development, function, and aging in the mammalian system.
Rougier Lab
The Rougier Lab researches early mammalian evolution using fossils and comparative anatomy to study phylogeny, biogeography, and craniodental transformations.
Samuelsen Lab
The Samuelsen Lab studies how smell and taste integrate to form flavor and how physiological state affects this processing, with implications for eating disorders and obesity.
Ugiliweneza Lab
The Ugiliweneza Lab provides biostatistics and analytics support for research studies and leads investigations on neurological injury and psychological health in adults and children.
