Regehr is a Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School's Department of Neurobiology. Born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Regehr attended college in Canada, then received his Ph.D. at Caltech in applied physics with David Rutledge. His doctorate was at the interface between neuroscience and electrical engingeering. He subsequently did two postdoctors. Regehr cites his younger brother, Chris Regehr, as a guiding influence and source of inspiration. Regehr's laboratory studies the implication of calcium Ca as it affects synaptic strength. Neurons communicate with one another via synapses. Regehr was one of the first to use fluorescent imaging to see the synaptic activity occurring in the brain. A dye alters the fluorenscence properties when attached to calcium, and changes in intracellular calcium are associated with neuronal activity (firing of action potentials). Using fluorescence-microscopy techniques, calcium levels are detected, and therefore the influx of calcium in the presynaptic neuron. Calcium processes affect the release of neurotransmitter from the axon terminal. (Occasionally this happens in reverse). Chemical synapses are characterized ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20835185 ... Read more
