Neuron–glia interactions
How astrocytes regulate extracellular potassium, neural excitability and communication across healthy and diseased tissue.
Cellular Neurophysiology
Understanding brain function through neurons, glia and networks.
We investigate neuronal–glial interactions in health, injury and neurodegenerative disease, linking cellular physiology with translational neuroscience.
Research at the Buskila Lab
Our work integrates electrophysiology, imaging and experimental models to understand how cellular mechanisms shape excitability, signalling and tissue function.
HCN channels and excitability
Mechanisms through which HCN channels and Ih influence neuronal firing, network behaviour and neurodegeneration.
Injury and degeneration
Cellular responses in traumatic brain injury, ALS and related conditions, with an emphasis on translational experimental approaches.
From cells to systems
We combine mechanistic questions with practical methods including brain and cardiac tissue preparations, calcium imaging and electrophysiology.
