Research Interest
Our research group is interested in the genetic and cellular mechanisms of the development and function of the brain´s inhibitory system. We apply advanced mouse genetics in combination with electrophysiology and traditional molecular methods. We are also developing a behavioral paradigm using cell specific pharmaco-genetics. The group has two major research interests:
