Dr. Chris Dulla is Professor of Neurosciences at Tufts University School of Medicine. His research seeks to understand how neurotransmission contributes to the function of neuronal networks. Neurotransmission is the most basic unit of neuronal communication. Disruption of the basic features of neurotransmission is associated with many neurological diseases. His lab aims to understand how specific properties of synaptic function contribute to network activity, and how changes in neurotransmission are involved in the pathology of disease states such as epilepsy and traumatic brain injury. His lab aims to answer questions about how neuronal network function is shaped by some of the most basic parameters of neurotransmission.  His laboratory has been collaborating with Dr. Hu’s laboratory to develop mouse models of post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome based on changes in neurologic function.
