Welcome to the Janusonis Laboratory at UC Santa Barbara!
We study the self-organization and dynamics of the brain serotonergic matrix. This research is inherently interdisciplinary and spans cellular neuroscience, advanced microscopy, neuronal cell cultures, comparative neurobiology, the mathematics of stochastic processes, and supercomputing. Our program has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the California NanoSystems Institute.
