David Linden is a Professor in the Solomon H Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His research focuses on neuronal plasticity, exploring how experiences such as learning and injury impact the brain's functional capacity. His recent work investigates the mechanisms of serotonin axon regeneration after injury, revealing that these axons exhibit unique regenerative properties compared to other neuronal types. Through the use of in vivo two-photon microscopy, Linden's lab has produced time-lapse images demonstrating the recovery process of serotonin axons in the adult mouse neocortex. His research aims to uncover molecular properties that enable serotonin axons to regenerate effectively, with the ultimate goal of developing therapies to promote axon regeneration across various cell types. Linden's lab is expected to close in November 2024.
