Brief description The nerve cells in our brains are in constant communication to sustain life. Communication involves electrical stimulation of one nerve cell which then responds by releasing chemical messengers, from vesicles, onto the next cell. Our research focuses on the mechanism of recycling of vesicles. Targeting this mechanism is a way to gain fundamental knowledge of how to intervene medically when communication fails, or when communication needs to be dampened, such as in some neurological diseases.
