His discoveries have broad implications for the control of cell-cell communication throughout the nervous system and his work has regularly appeared in elite journals including Nature, Science, Cell, Nature Medicine and Neuron. Dr. Salter has a broad interest in neuroscience and his work relevant to learning and memory, stroke-induced neuron death, epilepsy and schizophrenia. As a distinct line of research, he and his collaborators reported in Cell in 2006 their discovery of a previously unsuspected role for sensory neurons in the pathogenesis of diabetes and in the control of glucose homeostasis. /sent on behalf of Dr. Eftekhar Eftekharpour Coordinator - Seminar & Visiting Speaker Series Tel: 204.789.3214 Email: eftekhar.eftekharpour(a)umanitoba.ca Manitoba Neuroscience Network R4046 - 351 Tache Avenue Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6 Tel: 204.235.3939 Fax: 204.237.4092 Email: networking(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> cid:image003.jpg@01D159B3.9F0B9710 <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
