LABORATORYOFNEURONALCOMMUNICATION |
|
Neurons in our brain are organized in circuits and communicate using synaptic vesicles that release neurotransmitters upon fusion with the membrane. We study neurotransmission using fruit fly genetics and a variety of functional in vivo assays including electrophysiology, live imaging and electron microscopy to reveal novel aspects of synaptic function in healthy and diseased neurons. |
