- We moved to a new lab in the North West Corner (NWC) Building at Columbia University's Morningside campus. Please come to 550 W 120th (corner with Broadway), Room 902A.
- To get here, take a taxi to 120th and Broadway, the subway (line 1/9), or the bus (M104) to Broadway and 116th street, which is the main entrance of Columbia University and walk up the block to 120th street.
- Enter the NWC building at street level, take the stairs and escalator to the 4th floor, use the glass doors to get to the elevator bay and take the elevator to the 9th floor. Our lab is to the right of the elevators (room 902A, to the right of the glass enclosed area).

- Indagación, by Gustavo Torner.
- Torner is one of the most important conceptual Spanish artists and he was inspired by a visit to our lab when creating this piece of art. The white dots represent the firing of neurons, as seen in a calcium imaging movie. The triangle symbolizes science and the line is the clean line of human thought. This etching hangs in our lab and now inspires us in our work.
