Having a background in protein biochemistry and molecular biology, I chose to learn imaging and electrophysiological techniques to study neuronal function. I am interested in dendritic integration; specifically how inhibition impacts the integration of different spatiotemporal patterns of activity in dendrites.
Thesis
