The group’s research is aimed at revealing the roles of GABA and glycine in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body.

Subprojects include:

1. Localization and developmental phenotypes of receptors for GABA and glycine studied by electrophysiological and immunohistochemical methods.
2. Modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission by pre- and postsynaptic GABA and glycine receptors.
3. The roles of GABA and glycine transporters in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body.
4. Molecular interactions between GABA and glycine receptors.
