We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Source of Ros in Hippocampal Plasticity and Memory @ Baylor College of Medicine
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our lab is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity and memory formation. I am specifically interested in the role that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play in these processes. Examples of ROS are superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide (also known as a reactive nitrogen species). ROS are known to be involved in neurodegeneration caused by oxidative stress; however there is also considerable evidence for a role of ROS in signal transduction. We have shown that ROS are necessary for synaptic plasticity and memory formation, yet it is not well understood how the required ROS are generated. I am interested in determining how ROS are generated in a controlled manner such that they can be utilized as signaling molecules during synaptic plasticity and memory formation while avoiding the generation of neurodegenerative conditions. In my studies, I will concentrate on determining whether NADPH oxidase is the principle source for ROS production during synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Thus, I hypothesize that that ROS generated by NADPH oxidase is required during synaptic plasticity and memory formation. I propose to test these hypotheses using neuropharmacological, electrophysiological, and behavioral analysis of wild-type, and knockout mice.
