The Computational Neurobiology Group is engaged in collaborative research that explores aspects of functioning of both invertebrate and vertebrate brains. Based at the University of Missouri (MU), a campus that provides an interdisciplinary research environment, we collaborate with the following labs both at MU and abroad:
- Nair Lab - MU College of Engineering
- Cocroft Lab - MU Biological Sciences
- Kalivas Lab - Medical University of South Carolina
- Quirk Lab - University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine
- Schulz Lab - MU Biological Sciences
Nair Lab
Student Opportunity
The group employs graduate and undergraduate students, and post-docs to work on computational modeling research, in close collaboration with neuroscientists:
- cellular level: neural correlates of fear and extinction memories
- cellular level: preservation of neuronal and network function in ganglions
- celullar level: neuroadaptations in the PFC-NAc perisynapse due to cocaine
- intra-cellular level: LTP/LTD in the accumbal PSD due to cocaine
- behavioral level: emergent anti-predator behavior in a colony of insects
