Description:

Marine systemsA mechanistic understanding of calcification in Puerto Rican coral reefs. Estuary systemsConsequences of estuary contamination on crab heart and neurosecretory systems. River systemsImpact of anthropogenic changes in Puerto Rico urban rivers on behavior and underlying neural circuitry of fish and crustacean species. Terrestrial systemsPhysiological and molecular consequences of environmental change on the nervous system of wild Drosophila melanogaster.Welcome to the PRCEN webpageThe nervous system is the interface between an organism and its environment.  Neuroscience, therefore, can provide critical and sensitive tools to help understand how organisms respond to change. The Puerto Rico Center for Environmental Neuroscience (PRCEN) promotes integrative approaches that combine the ecology, biology and chemistry of four interconnected Puerto Rican ecosystems (marine, estuary, terrestrial, and freshwater) with state-of-the-art research into the molecular/cellular neurobiology of organisms living within those habitats to create a novel field that requires participants to move outside of their comfort zones and learn about entirely new areas of research. PRCEN is a NSF Center for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST). News Events Marine systems: A mechanistic understanding of calcification in Puerto Rican coral reefs.
