Cellular and circuit mechanisms of cortical function in humans and rats
- 👤 Speaker: Dr Sam Booker, University of Edinburgh 🔗 Website
- 📅 Date & Time: Wednesday 30 October 2024, 13:00 - 14:00
- 📍 Venue: Bryan Matthews Seminar Room, Physiology Building, Downing Site
Abstract
Sam’s research is focussed on determining the role of neurotransmitter signalling in cortical circuits through development: how GAB Aergic neurons integrate within circuits during early life, and how sensory experience or genetic alterations (such as in neurodevelopmental disorders such as Fragile X Syndrome and SYNGAP haploinsufficiency) lead to divergent developmental trajectories and network function.
