Investigating the Role of Latrophilin Adhesion G-protein Coupled Receptors in Neural Circuit Patterning
Development of genetic mouse models to study Latrophilin gene function - Visualizing Latrophilin protein via incorporation of mVenus fluorescent protein
Using patch-clamp electrophysiology methods, we are able to isolate individual neurons in the brain and study their fundamental properties: action potentials, synaptic transmission, morphological architecture.
