Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher's work focuses on the nervous system, particularly how brain cells called neurons and their supporting cells (oligodendrocytes and glia, which produce the insulating myelin sheath around nerve fibers) develop, communicate, and respond to injury or disease. Recent studies examine how nerve cell signaling can promote brain tumor growth, how myelin changes relate to opioid reward pathways, and how specific genes affect nerve cell maturation and disorders like dystonia. Note that the publication list also includes some literary criticism articles that appear unrelated to the neuroscience work and may belong to a different author with the same name.
