Welcome to the -OMICS page of the Department of Neurophysiology at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. The Cortical Plasticity focus group in the Department, led by Dr. Tansu Celikel, systematically searches for the molecular, cellular and network mechanisms of cortical plasticity as we induce neuroplasticity by controlling the sensory and perceptual experience of mice. High-throughput -OMICS based molecular screening is accompanied by targeted molecular and cellular (in)activation studies to causally link molecules and synapses to circuits and behaviour. This portal is an interactive gateway to the molecular data that we collect.
