Puig Laboratory
Main aims of the laboratory:
To unravel dysfunctional neural networks and circuits underlying psychosis and cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.
To find novel therapeutical targets based on pharmacological treatments (serotonergic, dopaminergic, antipsychotic, psychedelic drugs), natural compounds, and cognitive stimulation in rodent models.
To contribute to the development of novel neurotechnologies to treat brain disorders. These include graphene-based state-of-the-art neural probes to record and stimulate brain tissue and light-activated compounds (photoswitches, photopharmacology).
