PRAT Postdoctoral Fellow

Kari Johnson, Ph.D.

I study G protein-coupled receptor-mediated modulation of neurotransmission in the striatum, with a focus on metabotropic glutamate receptors. I am exploring how chronic alcohol exposure impacts neuromodulation, and the relationship between alcohol-induced adaptations and striatum-dependent behavior.
