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.
