| RESEARCH ACTIVITIES - Description used by investigators to specify their area of expertise. |
| Key words: |
cell culture, molecular neurobiology, fluorescence imaging, synaptogenesis, subcellular trafficking, synaptic plasticity, molecular interactions, neuronal polarity, cellular neurobiology, hippocampus |
| Research interests: |
We study how neurons in the brain form synaptic connections and how they modify synapses with experience. Major projects include: the role of neurexin and neuroligin cell adhesion molecules in synapse development; identification of novel synapse-promoting factors; mechanisms of transport of proteins to synapses; and trafficking and function of NMDA type glutamate receptor subunits. |
