The synaptic basis for sexual dimorphism in the nervous system

We are interested in deciphering questions spanning from molecular to behavioral levels

Proprioception and the the musculoskeletal system in development and disease

Combine molecular biology, biochemical and advanced microscopy techniques to study myelinating glial cells

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

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