The Sabatini Lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms of synapse and circuit plasticity that allow for the acquisition of new behaviors and refined learning. Research explores developmental changes that occur from birth, enabling complex learning and behaviors in organisms, including the analysis of perturbations that contribute to neuropsychiatric disorders. The lab utilizes a combination of experimental methods, particularly optical and electrophysiological techniques, to monitor and manipulate synapses, neural activity, and plasticity-related intracellular pathways. In addition, computational approaches are employed to further understand learning processes and brain computations, linking experimental data with machine learning techniques. The lab is a part of Harvard Medical School and is supported by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, integrating experimental and computational work to advance the study of natural and artificial intelligence.
