Scientific summary
Neuron/glia signaling in health and disease
The mammalian brain consists of comparable number of neurons and glial cells. To understand how neurons and glial cells communicate will help to know the function principles of our brain and the environmental adaptation. On-going efforts study the signaling mechanisms in neuron and glial cells in both physiological and pathological conditions. In addition to providing integrative knowledge for neurophysiology, our study also helps to identify dysregulations in diseases. Multidisciplinary approach is employed, including for example optical imaging, genetic engineering, pharmaco-/optogenetics, and electrophysiology.
