Research activity
My research activity concerns the study of the action of pharmacological molecules on GABAA receptors activated by the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in neurons in culture.
In particular, I study the activation and the modulation of these receptors in a well-defined region of a cell through the photorelease of caged neurotransmitters for controlling individual neuronal responses with a high spatial resolution thanks to the coupling of the electrophysiological technique of the patch-clamp with the confocal and two-photon microscopy.
