Description: Neuroscience Seminar Series

Dr. Lichtman’s research interests emphasize how mammalian brains accommodate information based on early experiences. He has focused on the dramatic rewiring of neural connections that occurs in early postnatal development. This work has required the development of techniques to visualize the patterns of connections in the nervous system and how they are altered over time. These approaches include automated methods for serial electron microscopy based on a novel microtome and a scanning electron microscope approach.
