Horloge circadienne, sommeil et plasticité homéostatique dans les troubles de l’humeur
Responsable : Tsvetan Serchov
En utilisant une combinaison de méthodes de biologie moléculaire, d’électrophysiologie in vivo et d’analyses comportementales complexes, nos objectifs sont :
- Étudier le rôle de l’horloge circadienne dans la physiopathologie et le traitement de la dépression.
- Caractériser l’interaction entre les mécanismes circadiens et d’homéostasie du sommeil sur la signalisation glutamatérgique dans la thérapie antidépressive rapide.
- Étudier l’impact de la signalisation adénosinergique médiant les effets de la perte de sommeil sur l’humeur.
