The researcher will be part of ASTROTECH, an European Training Network that includes 15 Ph.D. students in different labs all over Europe. This particular project is focused on epilepsy and has the following objectives: A) To measure astrocytic function in experimental epilepsy, combining Ca2+ imaging, electrophysiological, metabolic (glucose and lactate) and ionic (K+) recordings, and establish whether changes occur before seizure onset (biomarker identification) and are causally related to seizure genesis (mechanism). B) Validation of biolectronic devices (state-of-the-art technologies developed by the consortium) for assessing astrocyte function in vivo. C) Testing theoretical predictions obtained from whole brain simulations (The Virtual Mouse brain) performed by another ASTROTECH Ph.D. student working in the same institute.
