معرفی
Barna Dudok, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine. His research focuses on understanding how GABAergic inhibitory interneurons shape circuit dynamics in healthy and epileptic brains, aiming to identify targets for neuromodulatory interventions. He holds a PhD from Semmelweis University (Budapest, Hungary) and completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University (Stanford, CA).
Key research interests include endocannabinoid signaling, synaptic inhibition mechanisms, and circuit dynamics in epilepsy. His lab, the Laboratory of Neural Circuit Modulation, develops advanced imaging techniques and tools for analyzing neural activity, including super-resolution microscopy (STORM) and chemogenetic approaches. Collaborations with teams like Ivan Soltesz's lab at Stanford have yielded insights into hippocampal circuits and seizure control.
Recent work highlights contributions to Science and Neuron, focusing on retrograde endocannabinoid signaling, ripple-selective GABAergic cells, and supramammillary regulation of locomotion. He shares lab resources via GitHub repositories (e.g., LNCM-lib), emphasizing open-source tools for data analysis and imaging.
His team’s work integrates experimental neuroscience with computational modeling, advancing understanding of synaptic plasticity and therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders.
