Neuropsychiatric Disorders
Memories, thoughts and behavior are encoded in changes in the strength of synaptic communication. These changes constitute the cellular and molecular basis of information processing underlying brain function. However, the functional transformations used by synapses to encode and process information are still poorly understood. We are interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of synaptic function and plasticity, and in how synaptic dysfunction underlies neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
We use a combination of techniques like primary cultures of dissociated neurons and brain slices, biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, mouse molecular genetics, electrophysiology and behavior analysis to address the role of molecular players and of neuromodulatory processes that regulate neurotransmitter receptors and synaptic function and plasticity.
This fundamental research has strong implications to cognitive disorders, since genetic variants in multiple synaptic proteins are linked to intellectual disability, schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders, and age-associated neurodegenerative disorders are at their initial stages originated by defects in synaptic transmission. We focus on disease-related alterations in synaptic function, either genetic, triggered by experience or by antibodies produced by autoimmune synaptic encephalitis patients, to understand how synaptic dysfunction underlies disease pathogenesis. Our cellular and molecular studies and the animal models that we are generating can also contribute to the rational development of therapies for these diseases.
