Research Project
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system characterized by several pathological hallmarks, including inflammation, demyelination with partial restoration of myelin, neuronal and axonal damage. Notably, the acute phase of the disease is characterized by a transient hyperexcitability, which can be attributed to the altered expression of specific ion channels along the axon surface.
My research interest focuses on the evaluation of the consequences of demyelination and altered excitability on the functionality of the auditory thalamocortical system, by assessing the contribution of the KCNQ-Potassium Channels, given their involvement in the regulation of neuronal excitability.
