Neurotransmitter receptors mediate signal transduction at synaptic connections between neurons in the brain. My laboratory has been elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of glutamate receptors, the major excitatory neurotransmitters receptors in the central nervous system. We have...

Abstract: Sensations, thoughts, and actions are dynamic events that require the brain to encode the passage of time. For many tasks, such as playing music or sports, accurate execution requires the precise estimation of time intervals in the range of milliseconds to seconds. But how neuronal elements within brain circuits represent “time” is not...

To understand the function and dynamics of the nervous system and to find treatments for the neurological and psychiatric conditions that increasingly affect our aging society, new tools capable of addressing neuronal signaling complexity are urgently needed. These tools must also match the mechanical and chemical properties of the neural tissue to avoid...
