Elucidating nervous system development and function in health and disease
The Kavli Institute for Neuroscience (KIN) focuses on developing and applying innovative approaches and state-of-the-art methodologies to the study of neural cells and systems towards increasing our understanding of the human brain. A multidisciplinary research strategy, ranging from genetics and cell biology to behavior, is used to explore the development, maintenance, and operation of synaptic connections and circuits underlying diverse neural operations – from perception, to memory, decision, and action. Central to this mission is understanding mechanisms underlying disorders of the nervous system such as those associated with neurodegenerative disease.
FOUNDED 2004
Leadership
AREAS OF INQUIRY
- How do adaptations of basic cellular mechanisms support brain function?
- How does disruption of these mechanisms result in disease?
- How do genes encode neural circuits?
- How do neural circuits develop, function, and undergo changes?
- How do neural circuits make decisions and generate behavior?
- How are neurons and circuits repaired after injury?
