Andres Barria, PhD
Professor
Physiology and Biophysics
| Research Interests: | Synaptic physiology of excitatory neurotransmission |
| Primary Methodologies: |
Electrophysiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, fluorescence imaging |
| Work Summary: | Using molecular and cellular techniques, along with advanced imaging and electrophysiology, we try to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms that a) trigger formation of glutamatergic synapses and stabilize them, b) control the level of synaptic plasticity, and c) regulates ionotropics glutamate receptors. |
