题目：Electrical synapses and their interactions with chemical synapses

报告人：Alberto E. Pereda, M.D., Ph.D

Dr. Pereda’s lab is interested in investigating the properties and dynamics of gap junction-mediated electrical synapses in the vertebrate brain, in particular their interactions with chemical synapses, focusing on understanding the plastic properties of electrical synapses at mixed (electrical and chemical) auditory contacts on the teleost Mauthner cells. They found that the strength of these electrical synapses is highly regulated by a variety of mechanisms, including the activation of nearby glutamate receptors by synaptic activity, endocannabinoids and dopamine.
