This NIH-funded project investigates how synaptic zinc influences brain function and neuronal processing, aiming to uncover mechanisms relevant to neurological disorders.
Description
Research project focused on understanding the role of synaptic zinc in neuronal processing, including studying zinc transporter proteins, zinc release and clearance, and zinc's interaction with synaptic receptors. The research aims to provide insights into mechanisms underlying neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and autism.
