Nominator's project description
| Dr. Bading is a pioneer in elucidating the role of calcium sgnaling in the regulation of gene expression in nerve cells. Nerve cells are connected by synapses. Synaptic communication between nerve cells can undergo use-dependent modifications, which are the basis of memory and learning. Changes in the intracellular calcium concentration have emerged as the prinicipal signal for synaptic plasticity. Dr. Baidng and associate have shown how nerve cells exploit the spatial and temporal diversity of calcium signals and how theses signals activate gene transcription. |
