The group works on synaptic transmission, Ca2+ buffering, and Ca2+ extrusion in nerve terminals in order to study short-term plasticity of transmitter release.
By analyzing intracellular signaling cascades involved in the modulation of transmitter release it is expected to gain insight into the regulation of synaptic connectivity between neurons.
