78. Ways to Interrogate Synaptic Function (with Dr Rachel Jackson)
Manage episode 421150129 series 3412534
In today's episode Carolina and Clara are joined by Dr Rachel Jackson to discuss different techniques to interrogate synaptic function. Neurotransmitter release is a crucial function of the neuron that enables the transfer of information in the brain. When this gets disrupted pathologies can arise, such as in neurodegenerative disorders. We discuss Rachel's research investigating the protein arrangements and their subsequent dynamics and how they affect the structure & function of the synapse through a myriad of biochemical techniques.
Today’s episode was made possible thanks to the support of the Biochemical Society public engagement fund. We would like to thank the Biochemical Society for the generous grant supporting Science Communication initiatives like these. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=the+biochemical+society&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
