The Man Lab

Expanding the world's understanding of the molecular basis of higher brain function and dysfunction.
Investigating molecular substrates that mediate neuronal communication and those that are targets for neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.
Studying excitatory glutamate receptors to better understand the large number of diverse cellular processes occurring simultaneously within the neuron.

What We Do

In our research, we use cultured rat neurons, brain slices and transgenic mice along with diverse techniques including biochemistry, immunofluorescence labeling, live-cell imaging, animal behavior and electrophysiology methods in order to study the molecular basis of higher brain functions.
