This federal Project Grant award of $434,225.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program supports research at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science to investigate the homeostatic regulation of Cav2 voltage-gated calcium channels and their role in synaptic plasticity.

The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which synaptic vesicle exocytosis and neurotransmitter release regulate the abundance of Cav2 channels at presynaptic terminals. This project leverages the genetic model organism C. elegans to study how Cav2 channel levels are modulated through activity-dependent feedback, which may represent a previously unidentified form of presynaptic homeostatic plasticity. Findings from this work could provide insights into the pathophysiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders involving disrupted synaptic function. The award period runs from June 2024 through May 2026.
