The recycling of synaptic vesicles (SVs) is central to neurotransmitter release, synaptic function and brain communication. Our laboratory studies the molecular mechanisms that control bot the endocytosis and recycling of SVs. We also investigate how presynaptic dysfunction precipitates a series of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental conditions and disorders of neuronal excitability.
