Research Description

The Bamford laboratory studies synaptic function and regulation of presynaptic activity. Presently, we are concentrating on the effects of dopamine on corticostriatal projections. In particular, we are interested in how dopamine depletion, Huntington's disease and psychostimulant withdrawal affect the release of glutamate from cortical projections to the striatum.
