Zsolt Borostyánkői MD

Name: Zsolt Borostyánkői MD (1996, Budapest)

PhD student

Research interest:
  • Chemoanatomical organization of the mammalian pretectum
  • Morphological correlates of strabismus in the visual system of the cat
  • Anatomical background of parallel information-processing in the sensory systems, e.g. visual system, and the vibrissal trigeminal system
Collaborations: in-site
  • Developmental profile of the UBC (unipolar brush cell) in the kitten’s cerebellum (with Joe Takács)
  • Neuropeptide expression in the trigeminal primary sensory neurons following vibrissal nerves' transsection (with Jenö Páli)

out-site

  • Correlated morphological and electrophysiological identification of single neuron with biocytin in the rat CNS (with Steve Hernádi & Norci Veisenberger, Neurobiology and Comparative Physiology Group, Janus Pannonius University, Pécs)
  • Impact of NMDA-, or beta-amyloid-induced excitotoxic brain damage on metabotropic glutamate receptor expression and serotonergic activity in the rat CNS: possibilities of pharmacological prevention (with Tibor Harkany, Department of Animal Physiology, University of Groningen, Kerklaan 30, NL-9750 AA Haren, The Netherlands)
  • Experimental strabismus model in kittens (with Katalin Sényi, Dept Ophtalmology, Semmelweis University of Medicine)
