Description of the research topic:
In our previous work with human brain slices we found enhanced signal transmission between cells: it is faster and stronger as it was found in animal models (Molnár et al., 2008; Komlósi et al, 2012; Molnár et al., 2016). Furthermore it has been unveiled that stronger synapses can have exclusive plasticity (Szegedi et al. 2016). This suggests that these distinct features might mediate the ability to perform highly complex cognitive tasks of the human neocortex. The aim of our project is to study features of signal transmission on a compartmental level using state-of-the-art techniques (electrophysiology, molecular biology, electron or superresolution microscopy etc.).
