Episode Synopsis

In today's episode Carolina and Clara are joined by Dr Rachel Jackson to discuss different techniques to interrogate synaptic function. Neurotransmitter release is a crucial function of the neuron that enables the transfer of information in the brain. When this gets disrupted pathologies can arise, such as in neurodegenerative disorders. We discuss Rachel's research investigating the protein arrangements and their subsequent dynamics and how they affect the structure & function of the synapse through a myriad of biochemical techniques.
