Previous research in humans has shown that on-going visually-guided actions can be altered at latencies […]

Our research focuses on the intricate role of specific G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. A key aspect of our focus is unraveling the sex-specific regulation of GPCR signaling in these conditions. Through exploring these intricacies, we aim to illuminate novel therapeutic avenues and enhance our understanding of the complex interplay […]
