It is the the neuronal excitability and synaptic connections that produce behavior and cognition.  This research theme seeks a better understanding of these concepts on a cellular level by studying ion channels, G-protein receptors, synaptic transmission, neurotransmitters, action potential, synaptic transmission, plasticity and glia neuron interactions.

Disciplines, or concentrations within Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia include:

• Glial - Neuronal Interaction
• Ion channels
• Neuronal Growth and Differentiation
• Neuronal Markers
• Neural Plasticity
• Signal Processing
• Synaptic Plasticity
