The research group's area of interest is the precise understanding of the network structure of the temporal lobe in both healthy and pathological (e.g. epilepsy) animal models. During our studies, we perform electrophysiological measurements on in vivo awake animals and in vitro surviving brain slices, combined with so-called optogenetic studies, during which we modulate the activity of different neuron types and the network effects of these cells with light control. Our methodologies also include combined light and electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, multiphoton and super-resolution microscopy, and in vivo Ca2+ measurement in freely moving animals.
