Mecanismos moleculares de la formación de circuitos neuronales y enfermedades cerebrales.

La alta complejidad del cerebro no sólo se debe a los billones de neuronas de muy diverso tipo que lo conforman y que se conectan para formar las redes neuronales, sino que depende también de las conexiones sinápticas dinámicas que se establecen durante la vida del organismo. Con nuestro trabajo pretendemos estudiar los mecanismos moleculares que controlan el desarrollo y la formación de sinapsis de las neuronas inhibitorias, tanto en la corteza cerebral como en el núcleo estriado. El entendimiento de estos mecanismos es esencial ya que son la base de ciertos desordenes y enfermedades neurológicas tales como la Esquizofrenia, el síndrome de Rett o la enfermedad de Huntington.

Molecular mechanisms of neuronal circuits formation and brain disorders.

The high complexity of the brain is not only due to the billions of very different types of neurons that make it up and that connect to form neural networks, but it also depends on the dynamic synaptic connections that are established during the life of the organism. With our work we intend to study the molecular mechanisms that control the development and formation of synapses of inhibitory neurons, both in the cerebral cortex and in the striatum. The understanding of these mechanisms is essential since they are the basis of certain neurological disorders and diseases such as Schizophrenia, Rett syndrome or Huntington’s disease.
