Psychobiologist and Neuroanatomy Expert Consultant Resume

This expert specializes in experimental pathology, molecular neurobiology, and pharmacology.

This expert has conducted numerous studies in areas including metabolism of histones in avian erythroid cells, cyclic-AMP, electroshock seizure pattern in rats, and rat brain serotonin depletion. Other studies include proteolysis and glutamate binding in rat brains, and hypothalamic c-AMP in vivo increase in rats.

Additional areas of interest include lysosomal enzymes transport from cell bodies to dendrites, pseudocholinesterase in the rat cerebellum, lipofuscin in aged neurons, and dentate gyrus granule cells following limbic seizures. Other areas of interest include dendritic spine development in hippocampal neurons, hippocampal plasticity, extracellular regulated kinase activation, serotonin receptor mediated events, and seizures and neuropeptide gene expression in the brain.

This expert has extensive knowledge regarding light in the adult cerebral cortex, muscarinic receptors mediating depression, steroid hormone regulation of spine density in rats, transplanted CNS stem cells, splicing of alpha-actinin 1 (ACTN1) mRNA, and cytoskeleton associated gene (ARC) expression in human neuroblastoma cells.

This associate offers expertise specific to mitogen-activated protein kinase, extracellular regulated kinase, src tyrosine kinases, and KIBRA. Other specific emphasis includes a novel WW domain-containing protein, directed evolution in humans, gene duplication, RNAs and evolutionary novelties, and targeted gene elimination in mice.
