NIH research grant awarded to Boston Children's Hospital to study synaptic plasticity in the visual thalamus, specifically the retinogeniculate synapse, using mouse models. The project aims to understand mechanisms of plasticity during development and adulthood.
Description
Research grant focused on visual system plasticity in the retinogeniculate pathway using mouse models to understand developmental and adult plasticity mechanisms. The project involves advanced imaging, electrophysiology, and genetic tools to explore how visual experience influences neural circuitry.
