Our main focus is to obtain knowledge about how metabolic processes are coupled to brain function/dysfunction and anatomy with special emphasis on glial/neuronal interactions. 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is carried out on brain cell culture extracts, rodent brain and tissue extracts, after incubation/injection of 13C labeled substrates. Special emphasis is on epilepsy research and glial/neuronal interactions in physiological and pathological conditions.
