  • Research:
    Structural and Molecular Reorganization of Synapses during Learning and Memory

    I am deeply interested in the molecular basis of learning, memory and neuronal diseases.
    My current research is focused on understanding how the structural and molecular remodeling of dendritic spines determine the rules of synaptic plasticity.
    Using two-photon imaging and uncaging, I visualize how postsynaptic proteins travel during single-spine LTP. I study the structural plasticity of spines during LTD in mouse models of autism-related disorders.
