The communication between neurons in the brain depends largely on the secretion of a large variety of chemical signals stored in two secretory organelles, synaptic vesicles (SVs) and dense core vesicles (DCVs). The cocktail of chemical signals released from individual neurons is complex and changes drastically with...

“Cell Type-Specific Roles of Accumbens Dopamine D2 Receptors in Motivated Behavior”
Eduardo Gallo, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, Fordham University
Oct 8 2020 - 4:00pm to 5:00pm
Dimitri Krainc, MD, PhD, Ward Professor and Chair, Department of Neurology, Northwestern University The overarching goal of my laboratory has been to define key molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration. We have focused on pathogenic mechanisms that occur in most neurodegenerative disorders such as accumulation and deficient degradation of aggregation-prone proteins and mitochondrial dysfunction. As a general strategy, we are studying rare genetic diseases, in particular those...

The focus of the laboratory is to understand the mechanisms by which ion channel proteins sense critical biological stimuli, including voltage, temperature, chemical ligands and sound. I will give an overview of our program and then focus on our work on Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels, a large family of ion channel proteins that are structurally related, yet activated by diverse...
