Gonzalo Viana Di Prisco studies how connections between brain cells (synapses) change and adapt, a process called synaptic plasticity, and how this relates to behavior, brain injury, and addiction. His work spans molecular mechanisms of memory and drug responses (such as to cocaine and nicotine) as well as how the brain controls movement and locomotion. He also examines how factors like maternal diet and early life adversity affect brain and social development.
