The Department of Neuroscience is a basic research department focusing on synaptic biology and glia biology. The lab of Dr. Yang investigates neuron to glia signaling and pathogenic roles of glial mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases ALS and recently AD (Tauopathy). The lab employs novel genetically modified mouse and viral tools, in combination with primary glia and neuronal cultures, cell biological imaging, and biochemical/molecular techniques. The Yang lab also has extensive collaborations for in vivo glial imaging.
