These synapses are the means by which one neuron communicates with another, and changes in these weights are called synaptic plasticity. I concentrate on theoretical/ computational approaches to the study of synaptic plasticity and its implications on learning, memory and development. I study synaptic plasticity at many levels, from its molecular basis to its functional implications and I believe that theoretical studies are essential for forming the link between these different levels of description.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia GCC for Theoretical Neuroscience Gulf Coast Cluster for NeuroEngineering Gulf Coast Consortium for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Professor Neurobiology and Anatomy UT Health Science Center Houston
