Research
Interests:
My research focuses on the cellular mechanisms that underlie
the generation of rhythmic activity in the mammalian nervous
system. For this purpose, we isolate functional neuronal
networks in spontaneously active brain slices. These slices
can then be studied with various electrophysiological and
neuroanatomical techniques. Using this approach we are able
to bridge several levels of integrations from the cellular/molecular
level to the systems/network/behavioral level.
