Mechanisms responsible for synaptic transmission. These problems are approached by a combination of molecular biological, electrophysiological, anatomical, and theoretical methods. We study neurons both in dissociated cell culture and in brain slices, and we also investigate the function of individual membrane proteins of importance for synaptic transmission that research have been expressed in cultured cells. One main area of current deals with hippocampal neurons and with the properties of long-term synaptic plasticity. A second principal project uses a combination of techniques to elucidate the role of special synaptic proteins in neurotransmission.
