Neuropeptides & Neuronal Circuits
Welcome to the Melzer Lab
Our Research
The Melzer Lab studies the functions of neuropeptides on molecular, circuit and behavioral level. We combine imaging and electrophysiological recording techniques with genetic, optogenetic and chemogenetic tools to manipulate selected neuronal circuits and neuropeptidergic pathways. Our goal is to understand how neuropeptides alter cognition and neuronal processing in diverse contexts and emotional settings.Find Out More
