Dr. Yulong Li: Quantitative imaging of neuromodulator dynamics in vivo by constructing new GRAB sensors

October 19

2215 Wesbrook Mall
Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z3 Canada

The human brain comprises billions of neurons that communicate primarily through chemical synapses by releasing diverse neuromodulators, which regulate perception, movement, learning, and memory. Dissecting the neural mechanisms in both physiology and disease requires precise in vivo monitoring of neuromodulator dynamics. In the past few years, we and others have developed a series of GPCR-activation‒based (GRAB) sensors that enable high-resolution…
