Investigating the role of pH in presynaptic homeostatic potentiation at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction

This project continues thirty-two years of research with undergraduate students at Grinnell College, who participate in all aspects of the research. My laboratory studies synaptic transmission at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ). This project will focus on a phenomenon called presynaptic homeostatic potentiation (PHP), which refers to the increase in acetylcholine (ACh) release that...
