Our lab is interested in how the strength of communication between neurons changes during health and disease. We currently focus on the role of an ion channel, pannexin-1 in these processes. However, we are always open to new and exciting directions. We use state-of-the-art elelctrophysiology, 2 photon imaging, optogenetics and molecular biology to define key cellular pathways activated by stroke or involved in altering synaptic strengths.
