We image long-term rearrangements of living brain by confocal microscopy while altering genes and experience. Harnessing plasticity may improve neurological recovery.
Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury or Stroke is poor, due to disconnection of neurons. We seek to improve outcomes by overcoming NgR lgands that limit regrowth.
We seek to understand the basis of Alzheimer's Disease, Fronto-Temporal Dementia, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The goal is to define novel therpeutic interventions.
Publications from the laboratory are provided in three sections: recent, key, and complete.
Biographical and contact information for current and prior laboratory members are listed.
Postdoctoral Research Fellowships and Graduate Student Fellowships are available.
We welcome your collaborative support of our research effort.
Current Governmental and Foundation research support is detailed here.
