1. To analyze:
A) Alterations in hippocampal neurogenesis (reactive neural stem cells; aberrant newborn neurons);
B) Reactive gliosis (neuronal death, astrogliogenesis, microgliosis, inflammation, blood brain barrier…).
2. To explore novel therapeutic strategies acting on neural stem cells, newborn neurons, glia and inflammation.
Personnel (postdoc, part-time technician); Dravet Syndrome transgenic mouse colony. Equipment and Achucarro and UPV/EHU) services (imaging, genomic expression, proteoics…). Disposable materials and reagents.
