My research explores the wiring of new stem cell-derived
neurons into intact circuits, using techniques bridging
bioengineering, neurosurgery, and computer science.
I will investigate the following critical questions:
1) How are new stem cell-derived neurons wired into
the adult mammalian brain? 2) How does wiring of new
neurons according to these rules impact memory storage
in computational neural networks? and 3) How does wiring
of new neurons in this way impact memory storage in
behaving animals? |
