The main interest of the laboratory is on neuronal and synaptic properties involved in computation and learning in the cerebellar network.
The granule and Golgi cells and their synapses are the central subjects of our investigation.
These aspects are investigated combining various techniques and approaches including electrophysiological recordings in cerebellar slices and in vivo, imaging of intracellular calcium and membrane voltage, and mathematical modelling of neurones and networks.
Research is themed by some main projects including:
The scientific achievements are related to the functional properties of granule and Golgi cells and of their synapses.
