Poonam Mishra is a Research Fellow in Neuroscience at Yale University's School of Medicine. Her primary appointment is in the Department of Neuroscience, focusing on cellular neurophysiology and neural plasticity mechanisms. Her research integrates experimental and computational approaches to study ion channel dynamics, adult neurogenesis, and network heterogeneities in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Her work examines how structural and functional heterogeneities in granule cells contribute to plasticity and decorrelation in neural circuits. She investigates activity-dependent intrinsic plasticity mechanisms mediated by ion channels and explores computational models of multiscale plasticity in neural networks. Her studies also address the role of HCN channels in regulating neuronal excitability and the interplay between different ion channels in shaping neuronal responses. Mishra’s publications span topics such as theta burst-induced plasticity, network decorrelation, and multisensory motor representations in cortical regions. Her research bridges molecular, cellular, and systems-level neuroscience to understand fundamental mechanisms underlying brain function and adaptation. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials. She currently has no documented advisees or trainees, though her role likely involves collaborative research within the Yale Neuroscience community.
