Brain Signalling
Our group is interested in brain functions, from molecules to mental processes and behaviour. We study signals in neurons and neural circuits of the mammalian brain.
About the group
Using electrical (patch clamp) and optical measurements (laser microscopy), combined with molecular manipulations (transgenic animals and viral vectors) and mathematical modelling, we study fundamental principles and mechanisms for coding and information processing i the cerebral cortex, in particular in its memory systems.
We study how the interplay between different ion channel types generates the electrical signals and dynamics underlying memory and other brain processes and behaviours, and their importance for brain states (sleep, arousal, attention), brain development, and certain neurological diseases.
