Understanding the mechanisms of ion channel function and the role of ion channels in electrical signaling and physiology

I am a physician-scientist specializing in Child Neurology and neuroscience. I study the neural mechanisms underlying the core features of autism spectrum disorder and related neurodevelopmental conditions. My goal…

Brain rhythms reflect synchronized activity across many neurons and thus provide a means for studying how groups of neurons coordinate their activity during complex cognitive functions such as learning. My work uses…

Memory enables us to use past experience to anticipate and prepare for future challenges. But memories can only be used adaptively if they are retrieved at the right time and place. For instance, memories…

Research in our lab focuses on how emotion and cognition interact to determine how we learn about and remember important events. Some research questions include (1) how do we generalize from past emotional…

Neuron communication and development in brain circuits, synaptic plasticity, and sensory processing (auditory system).

Knowing the dimensions and connectivity of synapses is fundamental to understanding function. Our goal is to elucidate structural components involved in the cell biology of learning and memory. We study long-term…

The overall goal of my research is to discover the causative cellular and neural circuit changes linking neurological disease mutations with cognitive deficits. Genetic epilepsies give rise to seizures, and often…
