title: Role of growth factors in the nervous system.
abstract: We are studying brain and stem cell plasticity. How do brain, mind, and cell change with environmental alteration? Combining molecular biology, cell culture, single cell electrophysiology, synaptic physiology, and whole animal experimentation, we have found that experience alters function.
