The computational processes of the brain that direct behavior are only possible because of trillions of synaptic connections between billions of neurons and the connections of the brain to the outside world. We try to elucidate how these connections are established and what is the underlying code of synaptic specificity, stability, plasticity and function.

The questions we tackle are how glial support plays a crucial role, how the ...

T cells are a central component of the adaptive immune response. T cells are crucial to maintaining protection against infections and immune tolerance. Our primary focus is understanding the role of T cells in brain function and disease. We use a multidisciplinary approach integrating immunology and neuroscience to gain mechanistic insights into the contribution of T cells to brain plasticity and identify molecular targets for the development of ...

Despite decades of study the exact function of the cerebellum remains largely a mystery. It is not clear how its well known microcircuitry implements the motor coordination, motor learning and cognitive functions attributed to the cerebellum and very little is known about the cellular basis of the cerebellar interactions with cerebral cortex. We investigate these questions using a combined modeling and experimental approach. Our modeling studies ...
