Research in NSB
Peter Balsam (pbalsam@barnard.edu) is exploring how animals learn about time and use it to guide behavior. He also studies the neural mechanisms that underlie this capacity.
Elizabeth Bauer (ebauer@barnard.edu) is investigating the neurophysiological underpinnings of emotions and memory.
Maria de la Paz Fernandez (mfernand@barnard.edu) researches the neural mechanisms underlying aggressive behavior and territoriality, and the relation between the circadian clock and social behaviors.
John Glendinning (jglendin@barnard.edu) is examining how input from different chemosensory systems (taste, tactile, odor and viscerosensory) modulates feeding responses of animals.
Russell Romeo (rromeo@barnard.edu) focuses on how gonadal sex hormones and adrenal stress hormones influence the pubertal maturation of the nervous system and behavior.
Rae Silver (qr@columbia.edu) is examining hormonal control of reproductive behavior and circadian rhythms in behavior.
