We are studying brain and stem cell plasticity. How do brain, mind, and cell change with environmental alteration? Combining molecular biology, cell culture, single cell electrophysiology, synaptic physiology, and whole animal experimentation, we have found that experience alters function.

Key Words: brain-derived neurotrophic factor • synaptic plasticity • bone marrow stromal stem cells
