Research

We study neurons, glia and vasculature. We have various project that look at their development, function, and interactions.

How does the complex anatomy of a neural circuit relate to its function

Neurons differentiating to populate the embryonic mouse retina

 

The dendritic arbors of a retinal cell type known as the Starburst neuron. Each cell type in the nervous system has a typical arbor shape that helps determine its function.

We are all friends, but do not get us discussing whether neurons or glia are better!
