My long term interest is to better understand how the complex structure of neurons and dynamical intracellular signaling in dendrites and at synapses affect computational properties of the nervous system. My broader, philosophical motivation is to explore whether it is possible to entirely reduce human cognition to neuronal computation. I use approaches that are based on a close interaction between computational modeling and experimental methods.

I am interested in cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of dentate network excitability and synaptic plasticity. In my recent work I have contributed to identifying several important molecular players (e.g. neuroligin-2, neuroligin-1 and collybistin) involved in the regulation of dentate physiology (Jedlicka et al. MCN 2009; Winkels, Jedlicka et al. Hippocampus 2009; Jedlicka et al. Cerebral Cortex 2011; Jedlicka, Vnencak et al. Brain Structure & Function 2015). The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog. (Gilbert Keith Chesterton) |
