Institute Member Sarah London, Ph.D. learned recently that her proposal, “Neural properties that promote and limit the ability to learn,” was funded by the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a unit of the National Institutes of Health.

Project Narrative:
The ability to learn requires integrated brain receptivity and responsiveness. We leverage a model system in which the ability to learn fluctuates to assess chromatin measures of receptivity and translational responses. Results provide unique insight into neural properties that promote and limit the ability to learn.
