Our main interest is elucidating how early neural activity and neurotransmission coordinate diverse cellular processes(e.g axon growth, synapse formation and synapse elimination) that will define the specific architecture of a neural network. We explore how functionally distinct circuits first emerge during development, how they interact with each other and how these interactions evolve to lead to the formation of a functionally mature neural network.

Our research utilizes various approaches including analyzing single neuron cellular dynamics in vivo by time-lapse imaging to identifying whole brain neural network activity by calcium imaging using light-sheet microscopy.
