Professor Steven M. Reppert, MD, is the Higgins Family Professor of Neuroscience and founding Chair of the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
In an integrated set of studies, the Reppert laboratory is using anatomical, cellular, molecular, electrophysiological, genetic and behavioral approaches to more fully understand the mechanisms underlying the spectacular fall migration of the eastern North American monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), with a focus on the butterfly's navigational abilities and its distinctive circadian clock.
