Tevye Stachniak is an Assistant Professor in the Department of BioMedical Sciences at Memorial University of Newfoundland. His research focuses on electrophysiology, specifically examining synapses and neural circuits that serve as the building blocks for computations in the nervous system. His work investigates how neural circuits are constructed, overlaying the brain’s anatomical framework with specific receptor expression patterns to generate genetically encoded computational maps. A key aspect of his research involves the cell-selective expression of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which can lead to significant modulations in nervous system function, acting as switches in circuits that meet physiological needs. His lab currently seeks M.Sc and Ph.D. students with experience in electrophysiology. Dr. Stachniak has published extensively in high-impact journals, contributing to the understanding of cortical activity and the role of neurotransmitter systems in behavior and physiology.
