Research project studying the function and pharmacology of CaV2.2 splice variants in the hippocampus, focusing on neuronal communication and cannabinoid effects, funded by NIMH.
Description
The project aims to elucidate the basic mechanisms of neuronal communication and the effects of cannabinoids on neuronal communication, focusing on the hippocampus. It investigates how alternative splicing of CaV2.2 channels affects neurotransmission and cannabinoid receptor modulation, with potential implications for cannabinoid-based therapeutics.
