We have an overarching research interest in understanding the function of recurring motifs in the intricate brain circuitry, and how these give rise to complex functions in the intact brain. On the level of single neurons, we are interested in Read More …
The main focus of our work is on the function and development of glutamatergic synapses. We try to decipher the molecular interactions of proteins within the postsynapse and proteins bridging the synaptic cleft. All these processes are linked to the Read More …
Our major research interest is on pathomechanisms of epilepsies as well as developmental brain malformations and tumors. With respect to epilepsies, we aim to understand how transient insults including status epilepticus and particularly inflammation convert neuronal cells and networks chronically Read More …
Research at the Institute of Cellular Neurosciences is focused on the investigation of glial cells and their role in information processing in the normal and diseased brain. Similar to neurons, glial cells express a plethora of ion channels, membrane transporters Read More …
