The Garner Lab:
Investigating Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities
Craig Garner is a developmental neurobiologist interested in the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the formation, stability and plasticity of vertebrate synapses. He is investigating not only the role of individual proteins in the functional assembly of synapses, but also how environmental and genetic insults to the developing nervous system impairs cognitive function in neurodevelopmental disorders such as Down Syndrome, Autism and Fragile X syndrome.
