Welcome to the Kammermeier Lab
The Kammermeier lab is interested in understanding the function of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), G protein coupled receptors with widespread expression in the brain that are located at most synapses and activated by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. We are particularly interested in how mGluRs interact with each other, with scaffolding proteins, and how they regulate synaptic efficacy and neuronal excitability in the short term.
