NeurobiologyResearch opportunities in neurobiology are available at many levels of inquiry, ranging from molecular studies that probe the functions of ion channels to genetic and electrophysiological analyses of the development, plasticity, and functioning of neural circuits in intact nervous systems. Other projects include genetic analyses of circadian rhythms, studies of inflammatory effects caused by viral infection, and psychophysical, electrophysiological, and theoretical analyses of visual perception and orientation. Researchers have initiated collaborations with investigators from NYU's Center for Neural Science (CNS), many of whom hold joint appointments in the Biology Department. These alliances generate excellent opportunities for interactions with researchers in other areas of neurobiology.
