The project focuses on the electrophysiological investigation of the pathophysiological mechanisms
of synaptic transmission in neurological and neurodevelopmental epileptic disorders. The research
will address the mechanisms disrupting the balance between excitatory and inhibitory transmission,
with particular emphasis on GABAergic dysfunction and modulation of synaptic receptors. The
candidate will independently design and perform experiments using cellular electrophysiological
techniques and will carry out electrophysiological and statistical data analysis and modelling. The
project also includes critical interpretation of the results, preparation of scientific manuscripts in
English, and dissemination of findings, with the aim of identifying synaptic mechanisms and
potential therapeutic targets
