Synapses are fundamental units of neuronal connectivity in the brain.  The Je laboratory investigates synapse for principles of learning and memory, for processes underlying animal behaviours, and for pathological mechanisms of various neurological and psychiatric disorders including autism, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson's disease.
