Functional architecture of cortical microcircuits
Scientific interests of my group include the synaptic, molecular and functional organization of neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex and related structures, the network basis of behaviour-dependent population discharge patterns in the hippocampus, the changes in neuronal connectivity/chemical architecture underlying addiction or epileptic and ischemic brain damage, the mechanisms of endocannabinoid signaling and its relationship with anxiety.
