David Deitcher

Associate Professor, Neurobiology and Behavior

I have a strong interest in how synaptic transmission is regulated. I have utilized Drosophila as a model system for identifying mutants in synaptic transmission. I have previously focused on how neurotransmitter release is controlled. Currently, I am examining what pathways regulate the overall activity in the nervous system and how these pathways go awry in disease states such as epilepsy.
