Biography and Research Interest
What strategies do neurons use to choose their synaptic partners? How do these partnerships change over time, vary across individuals, and respond to disruptions? What are the consequences for neural circuit function and behavior?
To answer these questions, we directly and non-invasively explore circuit development as it unfolds in the hindbrain of larval zebrafish, using a powerful combination of approaches — including electrophysiology, neuronal tracing, calcium imaging, and behavior.
