About this listen
Dr. Rochelle Hines, an NIH-funded principal investigator at UNLV, discusses her journey into neuroscience, focusing on neurotransmitter systems and their roles in brain disorders. She highlights the importance of GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter, in brain development and its role in disorders like schizophrenia. Hines also explores the interplay between serotonin and GABA, particularly in the context of psychedelics and their therapeutic potential. She emphasizes the need for modulatory therapies over binary on/off approaches, citing her work with synthetic cannabidiol enantiomers and the founding of Tesla Therapeutics. Hines stresses the importance of personalized medicine and the need for better biomarkers in mental health treatments.
