Characterizing age-related decline of neural circuits by single-cell profiling
Description: Project Narrative Appropriate brain function depends on precise neural circuit assembly during development and on long- term maintenance of circuit integrity throughout the life. Employing single-cell genomic and epigenomic approaches, I propose to characterize cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the developmental circuit assembly and age-induced circuit decline using the Drosophila olfactory system.
