Dr. Kara Pratt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Zoology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming. She investigates neural circuit development using Xenopus tadpoles as model organisms.
Education includes a PhD in Neuroscience from Brandeis University and postdoctoral training at Brown University and University of Washington. Research focuses on molecular mechanisms of visual system development, neuronal self-organization, and functional circuit formation. Her lab employs advanced imaging and electrophysiological techniques to study developmental plasticity.
Recent publications examine synaptic regulation, visual processing pathways, and behavioral responses in developing vertebrates. Work demonstrates consistent focus on molecular signaling in neural circuit assembly and functional maturation.
