title: Proteomic approaches to dissect neuronal signaling pathways.
abstract: With an increasing awareness of mental health issues and neurological disorders, "understanding the brain" is one of the biggest current challenges in biological research. This has been recognized by both governments and funding agencies, and includes the need to understand connectivity of brain regions and coordinated network activity, as well as cellular and molecular mechanisms at play. In this chapter, we will describe how we have taken advantage of different proteomic techniques to unravel molecular mechanisms underlying two modulators of neuronal function: Neurotrophins and antipsychotics.
