Understanding the molecular mechanism of neuronal signal transduction
Understanding the molecular mechanism of neuronal signal transduction
Our lab strives to see how neuroreceptors, scaffold proteins, and signaling molecules get together and transmit signals at excitatory synapses. We seek to understand the molecular basis of neuroreceptor mediated signaling and protein-protein interaction networks which govern learning and memory formation.
