Description: Neuroscience Seminar Series

Murray Sherman’s research is directed at issues of thalamic functional organization, cortical functional organization and thalamocortical relationships. His laboratory uses a broad interdisciplinary approach, attempting to answer the same or closely related questions with several different techniques. These involve neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and behavioral methods. More specifically, light and electron microscopic techniques are used to explore various circuits; in vitro recordings from brain slices are used to study cell and synaptic properties; and recording from single thalamic neurons in awake, behaving animals are used to determine the relationship between behavioral state and thalamic functioning.
