RESEARCH

My present research activities focus on: (1) generating a comprehensive description of the biophysical properties of motoneurons and their alterations in mouse models of human neurological disorders, and (2) elucidating how the functional coupling and cooperative gating of voltage-gated membrane channels affect the excitability of neurons.
