Seth Grant talks about Synapse Complexity (BS 176)
Seth Grant (click to play audio)BS 176 is my fifth interview with molecular biologist and neuroscientistDr. Seth Grant from The University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was recently recognized for his pioneering work by the Federation of European Neuroscientists. He continues to make fundamental discoveries about the structure and function of the synapse and this month we discuss the discovery that synapse complexity and diversity is greater than expected, along with the implications of these discoveries. Dr. Grant first appeared onBrain Science back in 2008. So in this interview, I also asked him to take us back ...
