Neurophysiology
We aim to understand how key elements of the brain and spinal cord contribute to perception, cognition and behaviour. To reach this goal we study these phenomena across different scales from molecular mechanisms, stem cells and organoids to in vivo recordings of astrocytes and neurons during behaviour and cognition.
We study
- Spinal cord development and treatments of spinal cord injury (Boulland, Glover)
- How the brain turns sensory information into perceptions and memory (Sugar, Vervaeke, Hafting, Enger).
- Electrophysiological recordings in human epilepsy patients (Sugar)
- Rodent behaviour using in vivo imaging and electrophysiology (Vervaeke, Hafting, Enger)
- The role of astrocytes in the healthy brain, during sleep and in neurodegenerative disorders (Enger).
- Interactions between oligodendrocytes and neurons in the healthy brain and their role in cell injury and repair in disease (Rinholm)
- Cortical circuits using electrophysiological methods in vitro (Hu, Vervaeke)
