-Proper brain wiring during development requires billions of neurons to form trillions of stereotyped synaptic connections. These synaptic connections are remodeled during development and in the adult by neuronal activity-dependent mechanisms. Our lab is interested in identifying critical cell signaling events and molecular mechanisms that mediate normal brain wiring and synapse plasticity with the hope of understanding how dysregulation of these processes leads to disease states.
