Neural Systems: The Neural Systems Cluster focuses on how complex functions emerge from the interactions of the cellular elements of the nervous system as well as the interactions of the nervous system with other physiological systems. The Cluster encourages a systems biology approach to understanding how the nervous system adapts and regulates its function and structure in response to the internal or external environment. These questions may be investigated at time scales from the physiological to the evolutionary and at levels of complexity from the molecular biology of the cell to complex behavior. The development and use of new theoretical approaches and computational models to guide and instruct experimental design are particularly encouraged.Behavioral Neuroscience - Focuses on the development, function and evolution of neural mechanisms underlying complex behavior in animals. Neuroplasticity, learning and memory, communication, and biological rhythms are among the many topics that are examined in an extensive range of vertebrate and invertebrate systems. Levels of analysis span molecular biological approaches, cellular signaling, neuroanatomic mapping and analyses of animals behaving in their natural environments.Cellular and Developmental Neuroscience Panel - Focuses on the interactions among neurons and glia during development, regeneration, and aging. Current studies include aspects of axonal navigation and cell migration, neuronal differentiation, neuron-glial interactions, synaptic specificity, and neuron connectivity. These studies typically draw from a wide range of methodologies, including genetic, molecular, cellular, anatomical, and electrophysiological techniques, to support analyses that span several levels of complexity and time scales from the physiological to the evolutionary.Computational Neuroscience - Supports research on the computational functions of neurons, neural circuits and nervous systems. This activity encourages development and testing of mathematical and/or computer models of neural systems, and the study of model neural systems including both vertebrates and invertebrates. The activity also welcomes theoretical approaches in all areas of neuroscience that develop innovative concepts.Neuroendocrinology - Focuses on the neuroendocrine regulation and evolution of brain/behavior relationships, and the reciprocal relationships between environmental and behavioral impacts on the nervous system. Projects that focus on sexual differentiation, individual phenotypic variation, neuroimmunology and homeostasis, reproduction and social behavior, stress, and aging are encouraged. Integrative proposals in this area span multiple levels of analyses and complexity, from genes to behavior.Sensory Systems - Supports research on the mechanisms by which the nervous system acquires, encodes, and processes information about the environment. This includes research on neural processes at molecular, cellular, synaptic, systems, and behavioral levels, and psychophysical correlates of sensory neural processes. Topics include: sensory transduction, neural coding and integrative mechanisms, comparative aspects of sensory capabilities, including vision, hearing, touch, smell, equilibrium, and electrosensory, magnetic and other senses.Program Directors:Diane Witt.
