Award for research on synaptic physiology in the vestibular periphery focusing on hair cells and synaptic pairs in turtles to understand vestibular signal processing.
Description
This project involves biophysical and morphological experiments on hair cells and afferent synaptic pairs in the posterior semicircular canal crista ampullaris of the red-eared turtle, aiming to characterize ionic environments, conductances, and structural elements involved in vestibular signal processing.
