This channel features educational and scientific videos uploaded by the Crablab at Illinois State University. The Crablab is run by Wolfgang Stein, PhD, who is an associate professor at the School of Biological Science at Illinois State University. The link to the CrabLab website is www.neurobiologie.de
Our main research interests are sensory processing and plasticity in motor networks and how  neuronal plasticity affects behavior. We use the stomatogastric nervous system of the crab with its well-characterized central pattern generators as model system for the integration of sensory information and pattern selecting processes inside the nervous system. Videos intend to explain the motivation behind our research and the results obtained.
