We investigate synaptic transmission in the conditions mentioned above using in vitro and in vivo methodologies. Most of our studies evaluate electrochemical measurements in live brain slices (hippocampal slices).
Research:
- Partnering with minority-serving and Historically Black Institutions (HBUs) to promote underrepresented minorities in neuroscience research
Research:
- Electrophysiological, biochemical and molecular approaches to understanding glutamate receptor channel behavior and effects of nootropic compounds. Use of artificial lipid bilayer models to determine the mechanism of cytolysis by viral glycoproteins and bacterial toxins.
