Neurobiology
Work within neurobiology at Linköping University centers around using molecular genetic approaches to understanding neural networks at most if not all levels, i.e. their development, electrophysiology, anatomy and function. Ongoing work further involves understanding the many debilitating diseases that affect the nervous system. The current collective expertise within our research groups covers a broad range of modern neurobiology – from molecular ion channel research, electrophysiology and molecular genetics of neuro-development, onward to homeostasis control and behaviour. In addition, we are currently utilizing a number of animal model systems for these studies including Drosophila, Xenopus, rodent and chicken.
