Emily is PhD candidate in the Brain Plasticity Lab. Her research is focused on plasticity at the axon initial segment (AIS), which is the region of the neuron responsible for generating the electrical signals neurons use to communicate. By using different techniques of brain stimulation to induce AIS plasticity, she hopes to expand our understanding of how neuronal excitability can be modulated and develop novel therapeutic strategies to target AIS dysfunction in neurological disease and disorders.
