Abstract: I’d like to start by thanking everyone who collaborated with me and made these studies possible. Chapter II would not have been possible without the excellent assistance of Allison Simms and Jocelyn Farmer who helped perform the kinase inhibitor screen and helped perform PRR expression analysis respectively. Chapter III would not have been possible without the excellent assistance of Helen McGraw-Lazear and Jocelyn Farmer who provided mouse cortical tissue and HESC-derived neurons respectively. Finally, chapter IV would not have been possible without the excellent assistance of the staff at the Center for Chemical Genomics at the University of Michigan and Weiping Peng who helped validate the antiviral activity of CCG-32091. I’d like to thank the Miller lab members, both past and present, for putting up with me, teaching me, collaborating with me, hanging out, and just making lab an enjoyable place to work. I’ll miss you all and best of luck in your future endeavors. I’d like to thank my advisor, David Miller, for his mentorship during my
