Changes in neural circuits that allow us to learn and adapt are known as neuronal plasticity. While essential for normal nervous system function, this plasticity must also be balanced by processes that stabilize overall neuronal activity. Such homeostatic stabilization is the focus of Dr. Graeme Davis’s research program, which will aid our understanding of disorders in which homeostatic mechanisms may be impaired, such as epilepsy, autism, and neurodegenerative diseases.
