The synaptic basis for sexual dimorphism in the nervous system

We study interactions between peripheral circadian clocks and exercise physiology, hypoxia signaling and metabolic pathways

Neural circuit development and plasticity.

Mechanisms of oligodendrocyte and white matter aging and rejuvenation.

We study morphogenesis, cell biology and function of hypothalamic neurons, which regulate appetite, stress and social behavior

Genomic & state-dependent regulation of neural circuit plasticity

Mechanisms of axon growth, destruction and refinement during developmental neuronal remodeling
