    • Glia-neuron interactions underlie state transitions to generalized seizures 

      Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Myren-Svelstad, Sverre; Aydin, Ecem; Van Hoeymissen, Evelien; Deneubourg, Celine; Vanderhaeghe, Silke; Vancraeynest, Julie; Pelgrims, Robbrecht; Casacak, Mehmet Ilyas; Muto, Akira; Kawakami, Koichi; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie; Yaksi, Emre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Brain activity and connectivity alter drastically during epileptic seizures. The brain networks shift from a balanced resting state to a hyperactive and hypersynchronous state. It is, however, less clear which mechanisms ...
    • Motile-Cilia-Mediated Flow Improves Sensitivity and Temporal Resolution of Olfactory Computations 

      Reiten, Ingrid; Uslu, Fazil Emre; Forè, Stèphanie; Pelgrims, Robbrecht; Ringers, Christa; Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Hoffmann, Maximilian; Lal, Pradeep; Kawakami, Koichi; Pekkan, Kerem; Yaksi, Emre; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Motile cilia are actively beating hair-like structures that cover the surface of multiple epithelia. The flow that ciliary beating generates is utilized for diverse functions and depends on the spatial location and biophysical ...
    • Past, present and future of zebrafish in epilepsy research 

      Yaksi, Emre; Jamali, Ahmed; Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Animal models contribute greatly to our understanding of brain development and function as well as its dysfunction in neurological diseases. Epilepsy research is a very good example of how animal models can provide us with ...
