Synaptic interactions in the retina: receptors, mechanisms, circuits and networks
Our lab is interested in the cellular and molecular basis of synaptic transmission and synaptic integration in the central nervous system. Our main goal is to understand the synaptic and cellular mechanisms employed by identified neurons and specific microcircuits for signal processing. The primary techniques we use are targeted patch-clamp recording of visually-identified neurons, multiphoton (2-photon) imaging, immunocytochemistry, confocal imaging and computational modeling.
