General research interests and goals:
Our group investigates the role of glutamate receptors and gap junctions for the function of hippocampal and entorhinal network activity. Our particular interest pertains to the consequences of interneuron specific deletions of these molecules for hippocampal and entorhinal oscillatory activity, place and grid cells and mouse behavior. To elucidate these questions we use the following methodological approaches: - Generation of cell type- and region-specific knockouts
- In vitro and in vivo electrophysiology with analysis of local-field potentials and single-unit recordings (place and grid cells) - Behavioral analyses of transgenic mice including testing of hippocampal dependent behavior such as spatial working and reference memory
