Dr. Regher’s research program includes basic research on synaptic plasticity, or the capacity for signaling between neurons to change, and on neuronal circuit organization and function. One line of studies will focus on the mechanisms of two specific forms of short term synaptic plasticity and their roles in different behaviors, and another will investigate circuit elements in the cerebellum important for regulating motor learning, sensorimotor integration, and social behaviors.
