Translational Brain Function and Neuromodulation Lab

Our laboratory “Translational Brain Function and Neuromodulation Lab” works in the field of understanding brain function in neuro-cognitive diseases and non-invasive brain stimulation as a method to prevent disease progression or treat disease. In this laboratory, translational studies from the laboratory to the bedside are carried out on animal models, healthy people and patients. These studies focus on learning and memory disorders, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment following mechanical ventilation, depression and anxiety. Techniques used in animals include electrophysiological recording (multi-electrode recording of local field potentials (LFP) in conscious animals during behavioral experiments, spike recording and patch clamp recording), brain imaging (MRI), invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation, brain molecular and histological examination. Also, human and clinical techniques include electroencephalography (EEG), brain imaging (MRI and fMRI) and non-invasive brain stimulation. Data analysis is performed with an emphasis on electrical signal processing and image processing. This laboratory operates in an interdisciplinary manner and people from different fields such as physicians, physiologists, medical engineers, mathematicians, etc. jointly carry out projects. Brain recording and stimulation devices have also been designed and manufactured in this laboratory, and these devices have obtained the highest knowledge-based product certification in the country. In this laboratory, we are interested in cooperating with other research laboratories and researchers.
