I encourage applications from individuals interested in using
electrophysiological techniques to understand how the brain controls behavior.
I also have opportunities for field research studying the natural
behaviors of electroreceptive animals. For futher information, please contact
me at eric.fortune@jhu.edu.
Please include details of your research interests and goals in your
initial e-mail.
Undergraduates interested in research can participate in discrete, short-term
(~ 1 year) projects that may result in authorship on a peer-reviewed
publication. Availability of positions varies from semester to semester.
Please note that work in the laboratory requires a significant
commitment of time.
Research Projects:
- WEAKLY ELECTRIC FISH
- In vivo electrophysiology: Convergence on inputs from ELL maps
onto individual neurons in the torus
- In vivo electrophysiology: Responses of toral neurons to moving stimuli
in the presence of jamming signals
- Neuroanatomy: Immunohistochemistry, receptor systems
