Braulio Muñoz

Braulio Mu cez studies how the brain's synapses (the connections between nerve cells) are regulated by specific receptors, with a focus on glycine and opioid receptors in brain regions tied to reward and motivation. Much of the work examines how alcohol (ethanol) affects these receptors and neural circuits, along with related studies on how amyloid protein buildup disrupts brain activity in models of Alzheimer's disease. The research relies heavily on mouse models and electrophysiology to measure signaling at individual synapses.

Publication activity peaked around 2019-2020 and has slowed in the most recent years, averaging about two papers per year over the last five years.
