SUMMARY: Department of Neuroscience Distinguished Lecture: Michael Rosbash\
 , PhD (Brandeis University)
DESCRIPTION: The Department of Neuroscience presents a lecture with Michael
  Rosbash\, PhD\, of Brandeis University\, who is a a Nobel Laureate.

 laureate in Physiology or Medicine<br />Peter Gruber Endowed Chair in Neuro
 science<br />Professor of Biology<br />Investigator\, Howard Hughes Medical
  Institute<br />Brandeis University</p><p>Rosbash is interested in the RNA 
 processing\, genes and mechanisms that underlie circadian rhythms — the 24-
 hour pacemaker that is nearly ubiquitous among higher organisms. Using <em>
 Drosophila</em> as a model system\, Rosbash and his team study the mechanis
 ms and importance of neuronal circuitry and plasticity to circadian rhythms
 \, as well as the contributions of transcriptional and posttranscriptional 
 regulation. They also study how circadian clocks function within the brain 
 to influence sleep and the enigmatic process of temperature compensation.</
 p><p>Rosbash was awarded <a href="https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicin

 long with Jeffrey Hall and Michael Young "for their discoveries of molecula
 r mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm."</p><p><a href="https://neur
