Role of calcium-activated potassium channels in neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity and sensory processing [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Greg Stuart (Principal investigator)

Brief description Disturbances in brain function, as occur in diseases such as epilepsy and schizophrenia, are associated with abnormal electrical activity. This electrical activity leads to increases in calcium inside nerve cells. In this project we plan to investigate how changes in calcium inside nerve cells regulates electrical activity, and how this impacts on the capacity of the brain to process and learn new information.
