Neural circuits are composed of multitudes of different synapse types including electrical synapses (shown here in yellow in the zebrafish hindbrain) and chemical synapses. But how does a neuron orchestrate the balanced development of these synapse populations to allow for proper circuit function?
My work explores the molecular mechanisms that coordinate the formation of specific synapse populations during development.
