Research Interest
This research has significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders. In addition, our discoveries contribute to the development of future therapies which enhance the limited regenerative capacity of the adult brain to repair itself through the formation of appropriate replacement circuits in times of injury or stress.
