Investigating how neurons respond and recover after injury The Thompson-Peer lab explores how neurons recover from injury in vivo, and
The long-term goal of our lab is to understand how mechanical forces modulate neural stem cell fate in development and
My lab focuses on conditions of brain development and injury where a treatment does not yet exist. We are creating
Our past experiences influence who we are. In the Baram lab we focus on early-life events, and especially early-life adversity
Our project focuses on the development of highly efficient and reproducible brain organoid methods to investigate the origins of neural
My laboratory focuses on a combination of discovery biology and identifying translational neuroscience strategies for spinal cord injury and central
Throughout the brain, neurons communicate with each other through synapses, where neuronal specializations—presynaptic terminals, equipped with neurotransmitter release machineries, and
Neural functions rely on highly ordered circuit assembly during development. In the central auditory system, these connections must be very
Our laboratory uses genetics and molecular biology to study pattern formation in the zebrafish embryo. The rapid development and simple
