In our laboratory, we use mice as model organisms to investigate the mechanisms underlying the formation and maintenance of neural circuits in the brain. Our primary goal is to elucidate the molecular basis of how environmental and genetic factors influence neural circuits in the cerebral cortex and lead to the disruption of brain function.
