Title: Mission Connect Consortium on mild traumatic brain injury Translational Research (PI on project on stimulus timing and calcium signals in synaptic plasticity in cerebral cortex) Role on Project: Principle Investigator This project studies the role of synaptic stimulation pattern on the induction of synaptic plasticity in the cerebral cortex of control animals and in those that have received a traumatic brain injury. The goal is to elucidate the most effective stimulation parameters in control and injured brains for accessing the brain’s intrinsic plasticity triggering signaling pathways to recapitulate synaptic plasticity and functional recovery of damaged neuronal networks within the cerebral cortex.
