MOLECULAR PHYSIOLOGY OF NMDA RECEPTORS
To understand molecular mechanisms for fast information
transfer and integration at excitatory synapses we focus our research on
NMDA
RECEPTORS.
We seek to define their activation pathway, modulatory mechanisms
and structure-function relationships to better understand the roles played by
these proteins in the brain. NMDA receptors are involved in synaptic development,
plasticity, memory, and learning and in several neuropathologies
including stroke, neurodegeneration, chronic pain, addiction, schizophrenia and
epilepsy.
