BS 176 Seth Grant on Synapse Complexity

<p>This is my fifth interview with molecular biologist and neuroscientist Dr. Seth Grant from The University of Edinburgh. Dr. Grant was recently recognized for his pioneering work by the  Federation of European Neuroscientists. He continues to make fundamental discoveries about the structure and function of the synapse and this month we discuss the discovery that synapse complexity and diversity is greater than expected, along with the  implications of these discoveries. </p> <p><strong>Links and References:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a title="faculty page" href= "https://www.ed.ac.uk/profile/professor-seth-grant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seth Grant:</a> University of Edinburgh</li> <li><a title="FENS EJN 2020" href= "https://www.fens.org/News-Activities/Awards/FENS-Awards/FENS-EJN-Award/2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FENS EJN Award 2020</a></li> <li>Cizeron M, Qiu Z, Koniaris B, et al.
