Team presentation
The team "Cellular Physiology of Cortical Microcircuits" aims to study synapses between different types of neurons, leading to specific circuits of the cerebral cortex.
The 4 main objectives of the "Cellular Physiology of Cortical Microcircuits" team are:
- Identification of layer- and neuron-specific forms of plasticity, their molecular mechanisms and functional roles
- Understanding the functional role of an unknown subtype of inhibitory interneuron during sensory processing
- The search for cellular and molecular determinants of dendritic inhibitory synapses
- To identify the physiological role of extracellular perineonal nets (PNNs) and the synaptic mechanism by which they limit cortical plasticity.
