Further Information

Research focus: Development of neural circuits in the auditory brainstem, the hyperpolarization-activated current (Ih): function, development and regulation, development of inhibitory, glycinergic inputs in the auditory brainstem, function of metabotropic GABAB receptors in the auditory system

Key words: Cellular neurobiology, systems neurobiology, developmental neurobiology
