Understading neuronal circuits and circadian rhythms to improve mental health
The Porcu Lab is interested in studying the role of environmental stimuli in modulating circadian rhythm, brain functions and behaviors.
The Porcu Lab is interested in studying the role of environmental stimuli in modulating circadian rhythm, brain functions and behaviors.
We use a combination of state-of-the-art methodologies from behavior to in vivo calcium imaging and circadian genes analysis in pre-clinical mouse models.
We use a combination of state-of-the-art methodologies from behavior to in vivo calcium imaging and circadian genes analysis in pre-clinical mouse models.
Our goal is to identify the molecular mechanisms by which environmental stimuli (i.e, light cycle disruption, stress) impact circadian rhythms and neuronal functions, and how alterations in these processes can lead to psychiatric disorders.
