Approaches for unveiling the kinetic mechanisms of voltage gated ion channels in neurons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Ionic currents drive cellular function within all living cells to perform highly specific tasks. For excitable cells, such as muscle and neurons, voltage-gated ion channels have finely tuned kinetics that allow the ... -
Mining the Drosophila gustatory receptor family for new thermosensitive proteins : basic science and tool development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Extrinsic control of neural activity is a powerful paradigm for understanding how neural circuits operate and regulate behavior. Traditionally, optogenetic tools are used to activate or inhibit neuronal activity with light. ...
