As a postdoc in Carlos Aizenman's lab at Brown University, I characterized reciprocal relationship between the amount of synaptic drive received by a tectal neuron and its intrinsic excitability (the ...

Dr. Suzuki explains ... The appropriate functioning of the nervous system ultimately comes down to a precise synaptic interaction between different types of neurons. "Hence, our group focused ...

Synaptic inputs from distinct sources occur ... which would result in changes in the populations of neurons that drive a particular CA1 cell. As questions like these continue to be answered ...
