Epileptic Micronetworks / Antiepileptic Phototherapy

University of Bonn
Empirical & clinical neuroscience
About this course

Topics covered include:

  • Cellular resolution fluorescent in vivo imaging (mouse model)
  • Histological analysis of post-encephalitic brain tissue changes
  • Field electrophysiology (in vivo, in vitro)
  • Patch-clamp cellular recordings (in vitro)
  • Targeted light-based circuit interference, light-activated antiepileptic drugs
Learning outcomes

Depending on the research focus (Micronetworks, Phototherapy), students receive hands-on experience in cellular resolution in vivo fluorescence imaging in mouse models of encephalitis/epilepsy, immunohistochemistry, field electrophysiology, patch-clamp recording, optical interference methods such as optogenetics or light-
activatable drugs.
