the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the mammalian brain and the
primary target of tranquilizing drugs. Using a multimodal approach, the Teissere
laboratory integrates techniques borrowed from molecular biology, biochemical
modeling, neurophysiology, and pharmacology to understand the molecular basis of
anxiety and its therapeutic control.
