The Huganir lab is located on the 10th floor of Hunterian building. In the lab, we use a combinatino of molecular, biochemical, cellular, electrophysiological, and optical imaging techniques to study glutamate receptor trafficking, synaptic plasticity and the implication of glutamate receptor trafficking in learning and memory.

 
     
  The following are some of the imaging setups in the lab:
   
in vivo In vivo Two-Photon Imaging and Intrinsic Optical Signal Imaging
   
6 Probing function of individual dendritic spines with combined two-photon imaging and two-photon uncaging of MNI-caged-L-glutamate
   
2 Long-term imaging of neuronal development
   
1 Imaging AMPAR endocytosis and recycling
   
4 Imaging individual AMPAR insertion using TIR-FM
   
5 Examining AMPAR surface diffusion dynamics with sub-resolution single particle tracking using QDot labeling
