Turrigiano is known for her pioneering work on the mechanisms that allow brain circuits to remain both flexible and stable. Turrigiano and colleagues discovered several forms of "homeostatic" plasticity, most notably Synaptic scaling, and have characterized how this form of plasticity contributes to learning and experience-dependent plastic changes in the brain.
She graduated from Reed College, B.A., and from University of California, San Diego, with a Ph.D. She now lives in Weston, MA with her husband, Sacha Nelson (also a neuroscientist). She has two children, Gabriel Turrigiano Nelson, and Raphael Nelson Turrigiano.
