Research group Gerevich - Purinergic Signaling Research Group

Research Focus

  • Physiology and pathophysiology of purinergic (P2X and P2Y) receptors in the nervous system
  • Involvement of P2X and P2Y reseptors in hippocampal network activity
  • Purinergic receptors and synaptic plasticity
  • P2X and P2Y receptors in pain
  • Analysis and modeling of the structure-activity relationship of P2X receptors
  • Pharmacology of P2X and P2Y receptors

Methods

  • Spinning disc confocal microscopy
  • Electrophysiology (Patch clamp, local field potential)
  • Fluorescence imaging techniques
  • Acute brain slices
  • Organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
