Esra is a postdoctoral research associate and a C.V. Starr Fellow at Princeton, who joined the Wang lab following her doctoral training in neuroscience and psychiatric genetics at Emory University. She is interested in exploring the cerebellum's role in neural circuits underlying non-motor functions, with a particular focus on the long-distance influence of cerebellar signaling on the structural development and plasticity of neocortical dendritic spines in early postnatal life.
