LONG CITATION
Professor Michael W. Salter is one of Canada's foremost neuroscientists and has made original and important contributions to our understanding of neuroplasticity and pain. He is widely known for his pioneering studies on the regulation of glutamate receptors and excitatory synaptic signalling in the central nervous system. Glutamate receptor regulation is critical in normal brain functions such as learning and memory, and pathological brain functions such as pain. He is also renowned for his leading work on glial cells in the nervous system. Professor Salter's groundbreaking studies have led to new concepts in the control of neuron-neuron and neuron-glia-neuron signalling, and have broad implications for understanding of the fundamental workings of the brain in health and disease.

SHORT CITATION
Professor Michael W. Salter is one of Canada's foremost neuroscientists. He has made original and important contributions to our understanding of neuroplasticity and pain. His ground-breaking research has led to new concepts in the control of neuronal and glial signalling, and have broad implications for understanding of the workings of the brain in a healthy state and in the presence of disease.
