To this end, we apply a multidisciplinary approach that combines electrophysiology and imaging techniques with mathematical and computational models. text/html 2013-04-09T12:22:12-04:00 hxm8 http://neurowww.cwru.edu/faculty/alagramam/index?rev=1365524532&do=diff RESEARCH INTERESTS he focus of my lab is to understand the genetic basis of inner ear development, hearing and deafness, using mouse models. Since many deafness disorders in humans are associated with degeneration of the inner ear neuroepithelia, we are interested in identifying and studying mammalian genes that are involved in the development and maintenance of the neuroepithelium of the inner ear. The molecular analysis of hearing loss mutations in the mouse is an ideal way of gaining acces… text/html 2013-04-08T13:36:47-04:00 dww53 http://neurowww.cwru.edu/faculty/wesson/index?rev=1365442607&do=diff RESEARCH INTERESTS How does the brain integrate environmental information in order to guide behavioral responses? How and why does this process become impaired in cases of neurological disorders (i.e.., Alzheimer's disease) and normal aging? Addressing these questions is a critical step in not only understanding normal brain function, but also, to understand mechanisms of disease action and thus therapeutic strategies. text/html 2013-03-27T15:41:36-04:00 hxm8 http://neurowww.cwru.edu/faculty/feng/index?rev=1364413296&do=diff RESEARCH INTERESTS y primary interest is to understand how sleep and wake regulation is involved in the pathogenesis of mood disorders especially depression and how wake promoting factors such as (non chemical) sleep deprivation (or sleep loss) and wake promoting molecules affect behavior and physiological measurements. My secondary interest is to understand whether wake activity promotion through molecules that either promotes wake behavior or enhances circadian active phase benefit human hea…
