Circuit Neuroscience
This unit is part of the Research Group Molecular Neurobiology who largely encompasses the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research. The 240 researchers in this group study the molecular pathways of neuronal disease with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic targets. Major research questions focus on cell type vulnerability and single-cell heterogeneity, protein aggregation and proteopathic stress, synaptic function, as ...

Information processing in the brain depends on specialized circuits that are formed by distinct types of neurons. How these different nerve cells emerge and mature during development remains a fundamental question in neurobiology. We are interested to define at single-cell resolution the metabolic and transcriptomic programmes that shape neuronal diversity and circuit assembly in the developing mammalian cortex. Our research focuses primarily ...
