Interests

I am investigating rates of protein synthesis in different hippocampal neuron types. Despite protein synthesis-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity having been studied extensively, there is limited direct evidence of protein synthesis happening in synaptic terminals - I aim to demonstrate it in my project. I am combining silicone probe recordings with protein synthesis label infusions in awake head-fixed mice.
