Projects
Nanoscale constrictions compartmentalise dendrites
Constrictions similar to spine necks compartmentalise dendritic shafts. The increased compartments likely increases the computational power of each branch. Github Repo.
Aberrant calcium wave activity
The most commonly used indicators of neuronal activity artificially change neuronal activity. Findings were highlighted in The Transmitter. Github Repo.
Targeting dendrites to treat cognitive deficits in epilepsy
Identified a molecular target for cognitive problems in epilepsy model. Developed a treatment that effectively reversed the deficits.
New dendrite structure changes information processing.
A novel neuronal morphology influences information processing and computation. Findings highlighted in The Guardian.
