Position Description: | The long-term goal of the Glykys laboratory is to identify novel strategies to treat seizures and cytotoxic edema, especially in neonates. To reach this goal, we are addressing the following questions: 1. How does the brain inhibitory system work at the cellular level? 2. How do neurons swell, what is the outcome of neurological swelling, and how can we treat it?
Research areas of the lab include: 1. Changes in neuronal chloride concentration and cellular volume during pathological conditions. 2. Neonatal seizures and epilepsy 3. GABAA receptor physiology.
We approach these research areas with electrophysiological and imaging.
