Richard L. Huganir

Richard L. Huganir is a prominent American neuroscientist who specializes in studying how the brain's cells communicate through chemical signals. He focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind learning, memory, and brain disorders by examining receptors and proteins involved in synaptic transmission. His research helps uncover how our brains adapt and function, and it could lead to better treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions. Huganir is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and has made significant contributions to neuroscience, advancing our knowledge of brain plasticity and signal regulation at the cellular level.
