About the event
ALL WELCOME, EVEN THOSE WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY BAAC MEMBERS!
Join us on Monday, December 11, 2023 1:00-2:00pm for our 4th and final Quarterly Meeting of the year!
Dr. Hannah Monday and Dr. Gabrielle Devienne will present on and discuss "Animal models of autism - utility, limitations, and convergent findings in the sensory domain." Discussion will revolve, in part, around Dr. Monday's recent review article "Circuit-level theories for sensory dysfunction in autism: convergence across mouse models."
Dr. Hannah Monday is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie diverse forms of plasticity in the brain and how they relate to neurodiseases. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Feldman lab, she is investigating homeostatic plasticity in inhibitory cortical circuits and its impairment in mouse models of autism. By identifying novel molecular targets underlying homeostatic plasticity, and modulating their levels with gene editing, she hopes to develop therapeutic interventions for autism. Outside…
