Czech Neuroscience Society Labs
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.
PI: Jiri Palecek
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.
PI: Alena Sumova
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.
PI: Helena Janickova
Laboratory of Cellular Neurophysiology
Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences
We study ionotropic glutamate receptors and TRP channels, key mediators of excitatory signaling, brain function, pain sensing, inflammation, and GRIN-related neuropsychiatric disorders.
PI: Ladislav Vyklicky
Laboratory of Neurochemistry
Institute of Experimental Medicine of the Czech Academy of Sciences
We study the regulation and function of NMDA receptors using electrophysiology, microscopy and behavioral methods. We aim to understand their complexity and develop therapies for related disorders.
PI: Martin Horak
Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology
Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences
We investigate microtubule-associated proteins and microtubule regulation in brain connectivity formation and in neurodevelopmental disorders using molecular, cellular, and animal models.
