alphabetical order):
Albert Becker: Professor
for Neuropathology of Epilepsy at the University of Bonn. A long-standing
collaboration deals with the molecular cascades that underlie ion channel
regulation in epilepsy. Furthermore, he supplies crucial neuropathological
expertise in the analysis of human and experimental epilepsy. Albert Becker online. Common
publications.
Dirk Dietrich: Head of the
Laboratory of Molecular Physiology at the University of Bonn. A long-standing
collaboration with the laboratory of Dirk Dietrich is focused on the modulation
of cellular ion channels by Ca2+, and on the role of Ca2+ in
neurotransmitter release. Apart from these common interests, the laboratory of
Dirk Dietrich has also made important contributions to the field of
neuron-to-glia interactions. Dirk Dietrich online. Common
publications.
Christian Elger: Head of the
Department of Epileptology, to which the Laboratory of Experimental
Epileptology is affiliated. Christian Elger has been the driving force in
establishing the Department of Epileptology as one of the most renowned
clinical and scientific institutes focusing on epilepsy care and epilepsy
research. Major research interests include the mechanisms of cognition in
humans, neuroeconomics, basic mechanisms of epilepsy and pharmacoresistance.

publications.
Monika Jeub: Monika Jeub
is a former MD student of the Laboratory for Experimental Epileptology. She is
currently pursuing her residency in the Department of Neurology while actively
performing research in the laboratory. Her research interests include the
mechanisms of spinocerebellar ataxia and other neurological disorders using
advanced transgenic mouse models. Common
publications.
Wolfram Kunz: Head of the
Laboratory of Neurochemistry of the Epilepsies at the University of Bonn. The
group is focused on the properties of mitochondria and their genetic and
functional changes in epilepsy and in neurodegenerative diseases. Because
mitochondrial energy supply is likely to strongly influence neuronal properties
and survival, a close collaboration with the Laboratory of Experimental
Epileptology has developed. Link

publications.
Susanne Schoch: Heads an
Emmy Nöther group of the DFG at the University of Bonn, with a focus on the
molecular organization of the presynapse. Common interests include the function
of presynaptic terminals and their plasticity in epilepsy. In addition, Susanne
Schoch is a driving force behind establishing new molecular techniques. Common
publications.

alphabetical order):
Yoel Yaari: Yoel Yaari is
Professor for Physiology at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. He is a driving
force in the field of intrinsic neuronal properties and intrinsic plasticity,
and a long-time collaborator of the Laboratory of Experimental Epileptology. He
was the recipient of a Humboldt Research Prize of the Humboldt Foundation and a
Mercator Guest Professorship of the DFG which allowed the Bonn group to host
two longer research stays. Yoel Yaari online. Common
publications
Tallie Baram: Tallie Baram
is Professor of Pediatrics, Anatomy and Neurobiology at the Department of
Anatomy and Neurobiology and the University of Califormia, Irvine. Her work is
focused on unravelling mechanisms of epileptogenesis during development, and
the molecular neurobiology of stress and consequences of early-life stress for
learning and memory. The Baram Laboratory has collaborated with the Laboratory
for Experimental Epileptology with respect to the role and physiology of HCN
channels in human and experimental epilepsy. Tallie Baram online. Common
publications
Uwe Heinemann: Uwe
Heinemann is Professor for Physiology at the Charité, Berlin. He was the former
MD supervisor of the P.I. of the Laboratory for Experimental Epileptology. His
research interests include mechanisms and plasticity of oscillatory activity in
the hippocampus, mechanisms of ictogenesis, mechanisms of pharmacoresistance
and the role of energy supply in seizures and epileptogenesis. Collaborations
include the examination of intrinsic properties of interneurons as well as
mechanisms of pharmacoresistance.Neurophysiologie Charite Berlin. Common
publications
Caesar -
Lacher/Kaupp: We are collaborating with the newly formed institute of the Max
Planck Gesellschaft Caesar on developing in-vivo electrode systems (Dr. Lacher,
Prof. Kaupp).
Timo Kirschstein: A former MD
student and Postdoc in the Laboratory for Experimental Epileptology, Timo
Kirschstein is now a group leader at the Department of Physiology, University
of Rostock. We are collaborating on the role of HCN channels, als well as
mechanisms of altered synaptic plasticity in epilepsy. Timo Kirschstein online. Common publications
