Esra is a postdoctoral research associate and a C.V. Starr Fellow, who joined the 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 development, maturation and plasticity of neocortical regions important to executive functions.
