Awarded Project
Dr. Marder focuses on how neurons and neuronal networks maintain overall stability despite ongoing modulation, turnover of cellular components responsible for neuronal activity, and variability in the number of ways a given neuron or network might generate a desired activity pattern. Her research combines experimental and computational studies of a small circuit in crustaceans to yield fundamental insights relevant to understanding more complex neuronal circuits.
