Research
The research mission of the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology is the development and exploration of animal models and the study of selective human populations to understand cerebral systems in health and disease.
Research Labs
There are 16 research laboratories that form the core of our department. Our work is supported by over six different institutes of the NIH, NSF, Veteran’s Administration, private foundations and industry.

| Laboratory of Brain Imaging | Laboratory of Systems Molecular Signaling and Chemical Biology |
| Laboratory of Cardiovascular Biology | Laboratory of In Vitro Neurophysiology |
| Laboratory of Cerebral Dynamics | Laboratory of Systems Molecular Signaling and Chemical Biology |
| Laboratory of Cellular Biology of the Basal Ganglia and Motor Disorders | Laboratory of Neuropsychology |
| Laboratory of Cognitive Neurobiology | Laboratory of Sleep and Circadian Physiology |
| Laboratory of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience | Laboratory of Sleep and Cognitive Neuroscience |
| Laboratory of Electron Microscopy | Laboratory of Stereology and Morphometry |
| Laboratory of Visual Neuropathology | Laboratory of Retinal Microcircuitry |
Postdoctoral Opportunities
You can learn about postdoctoral opportunities in our department by contacting the director of a laboratory that interests you. Postdoctoral fellows are integrated into all the activities of the department, and a number of our faculty members began with us as postdoctoral trainees. We have an NIH funded training grant that supports postdoctoral fellows interested in the neurobiology and neuropsychology of aging, and support is also provided through laboratory research grants and by sponsorship of individual postdoctoral fellowship applications.
