MOLECULAR BASIS OF NEUROTRANSMISSION AND ITS IMPLICATION IN NEUROPATHOLOGY

Our laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms of neurotransmission and their connection to various nervous system pathologies. We study the interplay between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission pathways and their modulation by neurotransmitters like dopamine. These processes are controlled by membrane proteins such as ion channels, receptors, and transporters. Alterations in these proteins are linked to conditions like stroke, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. Our research aims to understand the interactions between these proteins and their environment, exploring their role in physiological and pathological contexts.
