Chromatin remodeling BAF complex dependent mechanisms in development of cortical interneurons
(2025-10-21)GABAergic inhibitory neurons contribute to the excitatory and inhibitory balance in the brain. Dysfunction in GABAergic neuron development is implicated in various neurodevelopmental disorders. In recent years, the ... -
Understanding Visual Attention: A Multifaceted Approach
(2025-08-21)We all have an intuitive sense of what attention is, yet defining it precisely remains challenging. While research in psychology and neuroscience has explored its origins, mechanisms, and influence on behaviour for over a ... -
Molecular and circuit analysis of stable contrast processing in the visual system
(2022-08-01)Visual perception gives us a reliable estimate of the world throughout the day, thanks to the computations implemented in visual circuits. In a given space or time, the relative change in luminance, contrast, forms the ... -
Characterization of immune responses in the meninges
(2022-06-14)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which is characterized by plaque-like demyelination in both white and grey matter and diffuse neurodegeneration. A T cell-driven ... -
Network formation and reorganization of the olfactory system of Xenopus laevis
(2022-03-03)The olfactory system is a window to the chemical world, that permits each species to adapt to novel spaces and situations. Despite the various phylogenetic adaptations, this sensory system maintains similar functional and ... -
Molecular and structural correlates of ocular dominance plasticity in mice
(2020-11-11)During early postnatal life, the brain goes through critical periods of increased plasticity, which enable experience-dependent refinements of neuronal circuits. Insertion of α-amino- 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic ... -
Nonlinearities in bipolar cells and their role for encoding visual signals
(2019-05-02)Vision begins in the retina, where ganglion cells separate the visual input into ~30 parallel output channels with different response characteristics to visual stimuli. How retinal ganglion cells obtain such a diversity ... -
Determination of the Dynamic Gain Function of Cortical Interneurons with distinct Electrical Types
(2017-04-25)In the living brain, individual neurons are constantly bombarded by thousands of synaptic inputs, which results in a fluctuating membrane potential. Neurons under such conditions are said to operate in a “fluctuation-driven ... -
Methodological and Cognitice Aspects of transcranial Electrical Stimulation
(2017-04-06)Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) techniques are based on the external application of low-intensity electrical current to the brain. The external current can modulate cortical excitability by depolarizing or ...
