Dr. Alex Kwan: Making synapses with psychedelics
Dr. Alex Kwan: Making synapses with psychedelics
Numerous drugs have the ability to alter our perception, cognition, and mood. Some of these compounds, such as ketamine and serotonergic psychedelics, have also shown promise as treatment for mental illnesses. The behavioral effects are often long-lasting, presumably because the drugs act on synapses and dendrites to induce plasticity in the brain. In this talk, […]

Dr. Graham Collingridge: Glutamate receptors and synaptic plasticity in health and disease.
Dr. Graham Collingridge: Glutamate receptors and synaptic plasticity in health and disease.
Working in the laboratory of the late Hugh McLennan (Department of Physiology, UBC) Stephen Kehl and I discovered that NMDA receptors trigger the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. Since these early experiments, the roles of glutamate receptors and their associated signalling processes have been extensively studied. I will provide an overview of […]
