Texas Computational Memory Lab research focuses on analyzing the neural activity that gives rise to successful memories and facilitates memory retrieval. 

We focus on neurodegenerative diseases linked to amyloid protein accumulation with the goal of developing mechanism-based diagnosis and therapy.

The Bailey lab focuses on developing gene therapies for neurological disorders. We work on monogenetic pediatric disorders, including SLC13A5 epileptic encephalopathy, multiple sulfatase deficiency, Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 4J, giant axonal neuropathy and ECHS1 deficiency.

This facility is the home to five high field solution NMR spectrometers ranging from 500 MHz to 800 MHz and a Solid State 600 MHz DNP system, primarily in support of studies of macromolecular structure, function and dynamics.

The Busch Lab develops optical technologies for minimally and non-invasive bedside assessment of microvascular blood flow and oxygen saturation, allowing continuous assessment of aerobic metabolism. 

Wei Xu Lab strives to achieve a mechanistic understanding of fundamental cognitive processes, explore their impairments in neuropsychiatric disorders, and discover innovative treatments for these conditions. 

The Volk Lab's research focuses on the hippocampus as they research how the brain balances dynamic learning and persistent memory.

Located in the Department of Ophthalmology, the Wert laboratory studies the post-mitotic neuronal cells of the retina, particularly the photoreceptor cells. Our goal is to discover and understand the mechanisms underlying retinal degenerative disease, and to provide novel therapeutics for these complex degenerative disorders using gene therapy and genome engineering technologies, human stem cell transplantations, and metabolic rescue.

We aim to characterize the ways in which reward systems vary from individual to individual and understand how this variation determines propensity for depression and addiction-like behavior.

The Hattori lab studies how neural circuits integrate sensorimotor information, memory, and internal state to guide behavior.
