Abstract: The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a small New World monkey that has gained significant recent interest in neuroscience research, due in great part for its compatibility with gene editing techniques, but also due to its tremendous versatility as an experimental animal model. As primates, marmosets retain the typical anatomical and...

Research in my lab broadly aims to understand the cellular and molecular basis of neuropsychiatric disorders. We have a particular interest in “mTORopathies”, which are developmental brain disorders caused by mutations in the mTOR signaling pathway that lead to epilepsy, intellectual disability, and increased risk for autism spectrum disorder. To elucidate disease mechanisms for these disorders, we use genetically-defined...

Abstract:
Ultimately, understanding cortical circuit function and development requires elucidating the functional synaptic architecture of individual neurons—characterizing the functional properties of a neuron’s synaptic inputs, their strength, their source, how they are arranged within the dendritic field, and how this relates to somatic output. To address this challenging problem, we have...

Abstract: Neurotransmitter receptors mediate signal transduction at synaptic connections between neurons in the brain. My laboratory has been elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of glutamate receptors, the major excitatory neurotransmitters receptors in the central nervous system. We...
