Neil Magoski is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Molecular Sciences at Queen's University, specializing in ion channel modulation and neuronal excitability. His research focuses on how the regulation of ion channel function initiates fundamental behaviors, particularly in neuroendocrine cells and their role in reproduction. The Magoski laboratory employs a range of techniques including electrophysiology, imaging, and molecular biology to explore changes in neuronal excitability and secretion over time. His work has shown that neuronal behavior in animals is altered during extended periods of brief sensory input. Key areas of interest include the control of excitability and secretion through voltage-gated calcium channels and the implications of electrical synapses in shaping neuronal activity. He has contributed significantly to our understanding of sensory coding, motor output, and neuroendocrine control through various studies on Aplysia californica, a marine snail that has been a model organism for over 50 years.
