Daniel Johnston Dan is our scientific and intellectual leader. Although his administrative duties have put serious demands on his time, he remains intimately involved with all aspects of the various research projects in the lab. He always has time to offer valuable suggestions and comments to all of us. |

Rick Gray Rick has been part of Dan’s lab for a long, long time (He still has vacuum tubes for a Tektronix 502 oscilloscope in his desk). He’s interested in all aspects of the modulation of electrical activity in neurons. You can read more about his research, and his other science-related and personal interests on his webpage. |

<\/a>“,”Randy Chitwood<\/b> Randy is interested in synaptic integration and plasticity in the input and output regions of the hippocampal formation, specifically the entorhinal cortex and subiculum. He is currently investigating the mechanisms of activity-dependent changes in both synaptic function, and intrinsic excitability in principle neurons of these areas.”],[“
