Funded Activity Summary

Regulation of activity-induced glutamate receptor trafficking in neurons. Neurons communicate via synapses, where chemicals (such as glutamate) are released to transmit neuronal signals. This proposal is aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of neuronal communication and adaptive plasticity, which are essential for normal brain function. The proposed research will combine biophysical, biochemical, molecular and cell biological assays to elucidate the role of a calcium binding protein in controlling glutamate receptor trafficking in neurons. The outcomes will enhance our understanding of how neural plasticity is generated and maintained, knowledge that is critical for our understanding of cellular correlates of information, sensory and motor processing, as well as learning, memory and cognition.
