Hi, I’m Eric Levine, a professor in the Department of Neuroscience in the School of Medicine.
I am involved in undergraduate, graduate, and medical school teaching, and I have served as the Director of the Neuroscience Graduate Program.
In my research laboratory, we study neurophysiology, with a particular interest in how synapses are modulated by endogenous cannabinoids and nerve growth factors. Another area of research uses human neurons to explore the pathophysiology underlying autism and epilepsy.
Hi! I'm Etan Markus, a professor in Psychological Sciences. I'm a "Behavioral Neuroscientist", interested in the brain basis of behavior. My research focuses on the process in which we turn experiences into long term memories.
We live in exciting times with new insights into how our brain works being uncovered almost daily! I love to share my knowledge both with the undergraduates in my lab and in my classes. My teaching & mentorship has been recognized...
* Yearly university Provost acknowledgment of my excellent teaching evaluations (10+ yrs)
* NorthEast Under/graduate Research Organization for Neuroscience “Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Mentorship” (2020)

Hi, I’m Srdjan Antic, an associate professor in the Department of Neuroscience in the School of Medicine.
Research in my laboratory is primarily directed towards understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of synaptic integration, synaptic plasticity, neuronal excitability and how dopamine modulates these fundamental processes. We have focused our attention on neurons and synapses in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain that plays an important role in working memory, planning and emotions.
Hi, I’m Anat Markus, an adjunct professor in the Department of Judaic Studies.
I was born and raised in Israel, getting a BA in a interdisciplinary behavioral sciences program (Psychology/Sociology/Anthropology) at Ben Gurion University.
I continued with graduate studies in Special Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), and earned a diploma in Art Therapy from Ontario Institute of Art Therapy.
I have been teaching Hebrew (and Art) for the past 20 years, including at New England Jewish Academy, the University of Arizona (Tucson) and UCONN.
I look forward to introducing you to the complexity and subtleties of Israeli Society!
