| Description: | NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series The Robert Whitney Newcomb Memorial Lecture Research in my laboratory is primarily directed towards understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of synaptic integration and long-term synaptic plasticity. We have focused our attention on neurons and synapses in the hippocampus, an area of the brain that plays an important role in learning and memory. The hippocampus is also of interest because it has a low seizure threshold and plays an important function in human epilepsy. Our research uses quantitative electrophysiological, optical-imaging, and computer-modeling techniques. For more information, visit Daniel Johnston |
