Neurosciences
Neurosciences at NIMR is concerned with the analysis of neural function in the brain
and spinal cord and investigates:
- the molecular factors which control the growth and repair of neural processes
- the actions of transmitters, hormones and intracellular
second messengers, with emphasis on the regulation of intracellular calcium, using the techniques of molecular biology and electrophysiology
- the phenomenom of long term potentiation which serves as a model for the cellular basis of memory
- the neural control and function of pituitary peptides
