Our main research interest involves how activities in the neural system influences synapses and target cells. This subject has relevance to neurobiology and health issues associated with physical activity. In addition to standard molecular techniques, our groups specializes in microscopy and in vivo imaging of single cells. We have developed a technique in which single cells are made transgenic in intact animals by injecting DNA expression vectors intra cellular.

If you run marathon muscles become more fatigue resistant. If you lift weights your muscles become stronger. Thus, muscles adapt to the way you use them. How can this happen?
