(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Precise regulation of glutamate homeostasis is critical for normal brain function, as its disruption can impair excitatory transmission and result in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. Critical to maintaining ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Complex motor behaviors in humans, such as speech, are not innate, but instead are learned. How does the brain construct neural circuits that generate these motor behaviors during learning? To understand the neural mechanisms ...

Investigating toxicity in Drosophila models of Huntington's Disease and Huntington's Disease-Like 2 (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The polyglutamine diseases are the most common form of inherited neurodegenerative disorders. Each of the polyglutamine diseases stems from the same underlying cause: a CAG expansion mutation in the coding region of a gene. ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)The roles played by cortical inhibitory neurons in experience-dependent plasticity and learning are not well understood. Here we evaluate the participation of parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) GABAergic neurons in two forms of ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)As we observe and listen to other people, we interpret their actions in terms of a rich causal structure, driven by underlying mental states and dispositional traits. The ability to rapidly extract abstract social information ...
