Project Description

The overarching goal of this project is to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying activity-dependent maturation of new grandule cells (GCs) in the adult and aging brain, combining strategies for transcriptional profiling and bioinformatic analysis developed by the Arlotta lab and the functional studies developed by the Schinder lab, to build an experimental pipeline for the discovery of new molecules controlling circuit plasticity that includes assays for testing the roles of individual proteins to an unprecedented level of molecular and functional detail.
