Neural Circuit Development & Plasticity

The Yaron Lab studies how neural circuits form, change, and adapt throughout life. We focus on axonal pruning, synapse elimination, and plasticity, key processes that refine brain connectivity. Our research examines how genetic programs and life experiences shape brain development and how axon remodeling influences pain perception. Using genetic models, live imaging, neuronal cultures, and molecular tools, we investigate the mechanisms that sculpt the nervous system. By uncovering these fundamental processes, we aim to better understand how neural circuits are wired and maintained
