Dr. Dwight Bergles is a Professor in the Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His lab focuses on neuron-glial cell communication and its impact on brain development, circuit function, and disease. The research encompasses the mechanisms of communication between neurons and glial cells, exploring how these interactions shape brain development and information processing within neural circuits. Current studies primarily address oligodendrocyte precursor cells and their role in myelination and repair following injury or disease, the glial modulation of auditory system development, and the neuromodulatory functions of astrocytes within the central nervous system. Dr. Bergles utilizes advanced imaging and electrophysiological techniques, including transgenic mice, to investigate dynamic interactions in vivo, aiming to enrich understanding of dysfunctional signaling in neurologic diseases.
