Award for research on synaptic physiology of vestibular hair cells in turtles to understand ionic environments and cholinergic mechanisms.
Description
This project involves biophysical and morphological experiments on vestibular hair cells and afferent synaptic pairs in the posterior semicircular canal crista ampullaris of the turtle, aiming to characterize ionic environments, conductances, and mechanisms of cholinergic input.
