Role of Parvalbumin-Expressing GABAergic Neurons in Sensory Processing Dysfunctions
Graziella Di Cristo
Professor, Universit茅 de Montr茅al, Co-leader research Axe Brain and Child Development, CHU Sainte-Justine Azrieli Research Center
Graziella Di Cristo obtained her PhD in Neurosciences at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy) in 2001. Her graduate work, performed under the supervision of Dr Lamberto Maffei, focussed on the molecular mechanisms modulating critical period plasticity in the visual cortex. She then moved to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (NY, USA) for her postdoctoral training, during which she worked on mechanisms controlling GABAergic circuit development, in the group of Dr Josh Huang. In 2006, she joined CHU Sainte Justine Research Center, Universit茅 de Montr茅al. Her research work focusses on exploring the mechanisms underlying GABAergic cell development and plasticity during normal development and in neurodevelopmental disorders.
