Current or Past Study:
Recent experimental evidence suggests that patterned neuronal activity acts together with transcriptional programs to regulate the assembly of neuronal circuits during development. In the Fishell lab I was studying the role of neuronal activity in the establishment of morphology, laminar targeting and connectivity of GABAergic interneurons.
