Neuroscience UG

Introducing the Neuroscience Lab

1. To clarify the molecular anatomy of neurogenic processes.

2. To understand the role of the thyroid hormones in adult neurogenesis.

3. To study the pathophysiological phenomena that occur in neurodegenerative diseases.

4. To carry out research that allows proposing possible therapeutic strategies.

The Neuroscience Lab-UG explores the function of the central nervous system, both in normal and pathological conditions. Specifically, we focus on the neurogenic and neurodegenerative processes and the role of Thyroid Hormones in them.

Our strategies

Our research is translational. We study adult neurogenesis and neurodegenerative processes in clinical, in vivo, and in vitro models.

We use biophotonics, deep learning, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging analysis, electrophysiology, nucleic acid transfection, and gene expression analysis for a multi-disciplinary morphological, physiological, cellular, and molecular analysis approach.
