研究领域

My main research interest is the function of the brain and spinal cord. In particular, I am interested in mechanisms controlling the strength of synaptic connections, the sites at which signals are exchanged between different nerve cells. Recent work has focused on the early postnatal development of signaling at synapses in mammalian visual cortex, with the aim of understanding how the developing brain processes visual information. Techniques include optical monitoring of synaptic vesicle recycling with fluorescent dyes and multi-site patch clamp recording. I also have an interest in the scholarship of undergraduate physiology education.
