Understading neuronal circuits and circadian rhythms to improve mental health
The Porcu Lab integrates basic and translational neuroscience to investigate how environmental stimuli and internal circadian rhythms regulate brain function and mental health.
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 advance the development of novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of mental disorders.
