Description:	Dr. Balice-Gordon research interest is focused on the role of activity in the control of synaptic plasticity during neural development. Using neuromuscular and CNS synapses in mice and zebrafish as model systems she has analyzed cell-cell signaling mechanisms that control synapse formation and maintenance. Her work with Jeff Lichtman using in-vivo imaging to show that inactive synapses are eliminated is now in neuroscience text-books. Her current work continues to focus on the neuronal and glial interactions that control synapse formation. These studies are important to our understanding of circuit formation and neural re-innervation after injury. NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series
