Research on the role of cell-surface interactions in specifying synaptic connectivity, understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms that determine where and when synaptic connections form; how these connections change with experience, and how they are affected in disease, research on changes in connectivity, composition and function of synapses are thought to underlie memory processes and brain disorders such as autism and Alzheimer’s ...

The computational processes of the brain that direct behavior are only possible because of trillions of synaptic connections between billions of neurons and the connections of the brain to the outside world. We try to elucidate how these connections are established and what is the underlying code of synaptic specificity, stability, plasticity and function.

The questions we tackle are how glial support plays a crucial role, how the ...

Despite decades of study the exact function of the cerebellum remains largely a mystery. It is not clear how its well known microcircuitry implements the motor coordination, motor learning and cognitive functions attributed to the cerebellum and very little is known about the cellular basis of the cerebellar interactions with cerebral cortex. We investigate these questions using a combined modeling and experimental approach. Our modeling studies ...
