“I am studying the mechanisms of synaptic transmission and plasticity at hippocampal mossy fiber synapse. Specifically, I would like to determine the identity and affinity of the putative calcium sensors for both synchronous and asynchronous neurotransmitter release at this synapse. To address these questions I am using a subcellular patch-clamp technique that allows me to simultaneously record from mossy fiber boutons and CA3 pyramidal cells at a unitary level.”

My research focuses on the study of synaptic transmission between mossy fibre and pyramidal neuron in hippocampal CA3, by recording simultaneously from the pre-synaptic bouton and the post-synaptic pyramidal cell.
