Description:	Neuroscience Seminar Series Work in Dr. Kaplan’s lab is focused on understanding how signals in the brain lead to particular patterns of behavior. They utilize a combination of behavioral, genetic, biochemical, imaging, and electrophysiological techniques to study signaling in the brain of the worm C. elegans. Current projects include: 1) Analysis of synaptic defects caused by mutations linked to autism. 2) Regulation of SV exo- and endocytosis. 3) Regulation of insulin and neuropeptide secretion. 4) Neuropeptide regulation of a sleep-like state. 5) Activity-regulated synaptic refinement.
