Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies how brain cells communicate at extremely fine spatial scales, using advanced super-resolution microscopy to map molecules involved in signaling between neurons. A major focus is the endocannabinoid system (the brain's own cannabis-like signaling molecules) and its receptors, along with the roles of microglia (the brain's immune cells) in neuronal development and disease. Work also covers epilepsy models and the effects of prenatal cannabis (THC) exposure on brain circuits.
