| Areas of expertise | Our group is interested in the neurophysiological changes associated with neurological disease, in particular Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy. Experimentally the major part of our work involves a host of electrophysiological methods stretching from single channel recording, through cellular neurophysiology in vitro, to tetrode recordings of neuronal activity in vivo. We also utilise a number of optical methods including single cell imaging and photo-activated ion channels such as Channelrhodopsins. From a receptor point of view our main current interests include estrogen-receptor signalling, CNS nicotinic receptors and group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. |
