Our laboratory focuses on the neurological benefits of Vitamin D3-Vitamin D receptors (VD-VDR) mediated signaling in the mammalian brain, primarily focusing on cholinergic systems. Our lab explores how the cross-talk among the myriad downstream signal molecules activated affects cholinergic receptor expression and function in difficult neuropathological conditions like those observed in Huntington’s disease and schizophrenia.
