Our Field of Research

 

 

We are interested in synaptic inhibition and in the mechanisms underlying coordinated spatio-temporal patterns of activity within neuronal networks. Besides normal physiology, we try to contribute to the analysis of pathological conditions like epilepsy, depression and Alzheimer´s disease. We use a broad spectrum of methods, mostly electrophysiological techniques and imaging in vitro and in vivo.

 

Scientists of the division are also integrated in a number of regional and national research centers and networks:
