Exoplanets in Transit and their Atmosphere (ExTrA)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2019,
Since the discoveries of giant planets outside our Solar System, over 800 extra-solar planets have been detected and several thousands candidates are awaiting confirmation. They have revolutionized planetary science, by placing our once unique solar system into context. The subset of extrasolar planets that transit their parent star have had most impact on our understanding of their planetary stru ...

Date du début: 1 mai 2014, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2018,
In the brain, fast neurotransmission involves the release of neurotransmitters in the synapse, their binding to specific receptors, which then open and let ions flow over the postsynaptic membrane. The Cys-loop receptor family directly mediates this neurotransmission.Cys-loop receptors are the targets of a legion of psycho-active and therapeutic compounds (including nicotine, alcohol, benzodiazepi ...
