    Functional dissection of cerebellar neural circut

    Grace Zhao’s research interest is to determine the computational properties of the neural circuits that allow us to adapt our movements to external or internal changes. Essentially she wants to find the neuronal basis of: “practice makes perfect”. She is combining systems neuroscience approaches to analyze neural circuits with molecular-genetic tools for precisely manipulating specific circuit elements. To this end, she has generated a number of transgenic mouse lines which will enable her to investigate the functional roles of particular cell types in the cerebellum.
