Research Summary
My current research is
focused on the development of cerebral interneurons. I determined site and
timing of origin and migratory routes of prospective cannabinoid type 1
receptor containing interneurons. I demonstrated that neurochemical properties
and fate of this interneuronal subgroup, similar to the projection neurons, are
determined at the time and place of last cell division (Cerebral Cortex, 2009). I demonstrated for the first time translocation
of synaptically interconnected basket interneurons in the postnatal rat
hippocampus what may occur in response to local functional demand and
represents a novel mode of cell movement and form of neuroplasticity (J. Neurosci., 2006).
