Derya Sargin
PhD in Neuroscience Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine, Germany
Areas of Research
My lab studies how the critical brain networks regulate complex behaviours and how depression inducing chronic stress affects connectivity and behaviour. We use a multidisciplinary approach with a combination of patch clamp electrophysiology, in vivo calcium imaging, optogenetics, histological and behavioural analysis in transgenic mouse models to answer these questions. With these approaches, we seek to ultimately develop novel circuit-based targets for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases characterized by emotional dysregulation.
Supervising degrees
Working with this supervisor
We are looking for highly motivated students with a strong interest in the field of behavioural neuroscience to work on mouse models of stress using a combination of cutting-edge techniques.
