The role of stargazin and TARP phosphorylation in synaptic plasticity [ 2008 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Victor Anggono (Principal investigator)

Brief description A constant change in the strength of synaptic communication between neurons is critical for higher brain functions such as learning and memory. Synaptic strength is determined in part by the number of receptor ion channels at the synapse. This project will characterise how key interacting proteins regulate the synaptic targeting of these receptors in vivo. This research aims to understand the mechanisms of synaptic plasticity that may ultimately lead to new therapies for various brain disorders.
