Research
Focus
- Developing neural tissue conspicuously shows spontaneous bursts of action potentials that have been postulated contribute to the maturation of the neural networks. My research focuses on understanding how this spontaneous activity contributes to the maturation of the synaptic connectivity in the developing spinal cord.
