TITLE: G protein signaling, the cytoskeleton and the neurobiology of depression and antidepressants
SPEAKER: Mark M. Rasenick (Director, Biomedical Neuroscience Training Program, Research Service, Jesse Brown VAMC, UIC College of Medicine)
DATE: Monday, 1 May, 2017
TIME: 4:00-5:00pm
LOCATION: Lecture Room (Room 229)
Krasnow Institute Building
George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
Abstract:
GPCR signaling through heterotrimeric G proteins is regulated both by specialized membrane domains (lipid rafts) and cytoskeletal elements, particularly tubulin and microtubules. The role of this interaction will be discussed, with relationship to neurotransmitter action, neuroplasticity and to the possible substrates for both mood and therapeutic intervention for mood disorders.
