Biology

Damion Meany, McNair Scholar

NathanTublitz, Professor of Biology, received his Ph.D. in 1984 from the University of Washington and has been part of the UO faculty since 1986. His research interests focus on the neural mechanisms underlying behavior, how neuropeptides modulate behavior and their role in mediating neuroplasticity. Recent publications include “Neural Regulation of Cuttlefish Chromatophore Function by Glutamate and FMRFAmide,””Journal of Comparative Neurology, 420:499-511(2000) (with Dr. P.K. Loi); and “Neuro-chemical Fine Tuning of a Peripheral Tissue: Peptidergic and Aminergic Regulation of Fluid Secretion by Malpighian Tubules in the Tobacco Hawkmoth Manduca sexta,” Journal of Experimental Biology, 205:1869-1880 (2002) (with N. J. V. Skaer, H. F. McGraw, D. R. Nässel, and S. H. P. Maddrell).
