The award supports research on NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) focusing on their subsynaptic positioning and synaptic nanostructure to understand their role in synaptic transmission and plasticity, using advanced imaging and modeling techniques.
Description
This project aims to investigate the nanostructure-function relationship of NMDARs in synapses using advanced imaging, modeling, and molecular techniques to understand their role in synaptic plasticity and neurological disorders.
