We especially seek applicants whose research would complement our existing strengths in neuropharmacology studying regulation of neuronal circuits, neurotransmitter receptors, ion channels, cell adhesion molecules, signal transduction, and gene expression in control of neuronal function in learning and memory, neurodegeneration, ischemic brain injury, intellectual disability, schizophrenia, autism, and addiction.
