Synapses, basic functional units of brain, are involved in the modulation of information flow between neurons. How synapses moderate this flow of information is key to functioning of the brain. Synapses control the transmission of information by differential recruitment, recycling and positioning of molecular components of the synapses. Our approach is to study the organization and dynamics of key synaptic molecules using a variety of interdisciplinary approaches. We aim to develop cutting edge microscopy and optogenetic tools to observe synapses at the nanoscale and real-time. In the Central Nervous System (CNS), synapses form the basic functional units of connectivity between two neurons. The formation, remodeling and elimination of synapses refine the microcircuitry in the brain. Synapse is a complex molecular machine, which changes its structure and composition during neuronal development and plasticity. Synapse contains hundreds of proteins choreographed in to a micron sized machi
