A broad range of techniques are used to address the different problems in which we are involved. These are combined with pharmacological tools for analysis of ion channels, synaptic release mechanisms, single neurons and systems of neurons.
Morphological analysis is done on the histological and ultrastructural level.
The Division has two systems for confocal laser microscopy, one for 3D reconstruction of neurons filled with fluorescent dyes or tagged antibodies and another one for real-time calcium imaging in living tissue. Extensive computer simulation of single neurons and neuronal networks are developed in collaboration with the laboratory of A. Lansner at the computer science department at the Royal Institute of Technology.
