Shatz, Carla Jo

Academic Appointments Professor, Biology (School of Humanities and Sciences)
Professor, Neurobiology
Member, Bio-X

Research Interest
The goal of research in the Shatz Laboratory is to discover how brain circuits are tuned up by experience during critical periods of development both before and after birth by elucidating cellular and molecular mechanisms that transform early fetal and neonatal brain circuits into mature connections. To discover mechanistic underpinnings of circuit tuning, the lab has conducted functional screens for genes regulated by neural activity and studied their function for vision, learning and memory.

Research Interest
Prof. Shenoy's group conducts neuroscience and neuroengineering research to better understand how the brain controls movement, and to design medical systems to assist those with movement disabilities.
