Research Interest

  The main goal of our research is to increase our understanding of the cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying neuronal synchronization and electrical oscillations in neuronal networks and to relate such knowledge to the changes observed in these network oscillations during pathological states of the brain such as Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and epilepsy. Such knowledge is essential to understand pathological network changes and will enable us to find ways to rescue altered network oscillations in pathological states and define new targets for therapeutic intervention.
