Our Research
Research of our group focuses on the mechanisms and physiological consequences of the astrocyte-neuron signaling, aiming to understand its role in physiological and
pathological aspects of synaptic physiology and brain function.
Astrocytes, classically considered as supportive cells for neurons without a direct role in brain information processing, are emerging as
