Laboratory of Pain Research
Institute of Physiology, Czech Academy of Sciences
We study pain mechanisms and explore new possibilities of pain treatment using electrophysiological, optogenetic, immunohistochemical and behavioral methods.

Laboratory of Biological Rhythms
Institute of Physiology, Czech Academy of Sciences
We are investigating the molecular mechanism for entraining the circadian system in mammals, including humans, and the consequences of its failure on our health, from the fetal stage to old age.

Laboratory for Experimental Neurophysiology
Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, Charles University
Using large scale neural unit recordings we study information coding in the brain, mechanisms of memory, spatial navigation and pathophysiology of Alzheimer Disease, Sepsis and Schizophrenia.
PI: Karel Jezek
Laboratory of Cholinergic Signaling
Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences
We investigate the expression and function of acetylcholine receptors in individual neuronal populations. We aim to explore the complexity of acetylcholine receptors to pave the way to new therapeutic approaches.
