How do you SNARE a synaptic vesicle? [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Brett Collins (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Frederic Meunier

Brief description The neuronal synapse is very tightly regulated by proteins that control both the timing and the amount of neurotransmitter release and neuronal stimulation. Defects in this synaptic signal are linked to diseases including epilepsy, autism and dementia. In this study we will determine the molecular details of how proteins called SNAREs control neurotransmission in the human brain.
