Research area

At the Department of Functional Neuroanatomy ( Institute of Experimental Medicine, Budapest, Hungary) we are working on rat hippocampus to reveal the role of different subtypes of inhibitory interneurons in organizing the hippocampal activity. Using immunocytochemical methods combined with correlated light and electron microscopy we could distinguish several types of inhibitory neurons on the basis of their morphology and neurochemical marker content. In collaboration with Richard Miles we studied the anatomical basis of excitatory and inhibitory connection between electrophysiologically identified cell pairs.
