The goal of my current studies is to elucidate the molecular basis of neuronal plasticity during development and in adult brain. To this end, I use genetic and viral approach to investigate the role of synaptic activity in regulating the patterning of neuronal network. By combining electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry and neuronal tracing techniques I am investigating the extent to which excitatory and inhibitory cell connectivity is mediated by experience.
