Our work aims to understand the processes that regulate communication between neurons. We investigate the molecular structure and physiological role of the mechanisms responsible for the variability of neural signalling.
Our focus is to understand how the active, voltage dependent properties of dendrites and dendritic spines contribute to information processing on the single cell and network level during physiologically relevant learning-related behaviors.
The major scientific interest of the Laboratory of Endocrine Neurobiology has been in the exploration of novel cellular and molecular hypothalamic mechanisms that take part in the regulation of the different pituitary endocrine axes.
