Research Interests
The focus of research in the Quinlan Lab is to elucidate mechanisms by which synaptic plasticity is constrained by age, to identify molecular/cellular targets that can be manipulated to promote rejuvenation of synaptic plasticity in adults. The goal of the Quinlan Lab is to harness the plasticity reactivated in adulthood to drive the recovery of function lost by injury or disease.
