	Rat hippocampal neuron in culture (above) expressing b-Gal (to visualize the dendrites) and immunostained for b-Gal (green) and PSD-95 (red), a protein enriched in dendritic spines.
	The postsynaptic density (dark area, above) is a highly organized, dynamic structure that contains NMDA and AMPA receptors (left). We are interested in identifying the molecular mechanisms that regulate NMDA and AMPA receptors signaling and their alterations in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.
