This project is located in the Epileptology Section of the Department of Neurology and investigates the pathophysiology of genetic epilepsy syndromes. The focus is on the D. melanogaster animal model, employing various genetic techniques (binary expression systems, gene editing) and numerous analytical methods, including behavioral assays, electrophysiology, and imaging. Further methods include next-generation sequencing, modern molecular biology techniques, single-cell and network electrophysiology, and high-resolution imaging.
