Neuronal Circuits Laboratory


The goal of our laboratory is to understand the normal and pathological function of microcircuits of the hippocampal and para-hippocampal regions. In particular, we are interested in the mechanisms underlying diverse forms of neuronal activity, from immature population bursting to hippocampal rhythms and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). We use a combination of electrophysiological, morphological and computational approaches.
