The Brain Metabolism Lab is devoted to investigating critical aspects of brain metabolism, in particular its influence on neurological functions and its implications in neurodegenerative diseases. 

Our research spans several key areas:

• Neurological Functions and Brain Metabolism: We delve into the intricate relationship between brain metabolism and essential functions like learning and memory. By understanding metabolic processes, we aim to unravel the mysteries of cognition and brain health.

• Exploring Brain Metabolism in Epilepsy: We investigate how alterations in brain metabolism contribute to epilepsy. By identifying metabolic pathways involved in seizure activity, we strive to develop targeted interventions.

• Unraveling Glycogen Accumulation in Neurodegenerative Diseases: We focus on the pathological role of glycogen accumulation in conditions such as Lafora disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our goal is to uncover underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

• Nanotherapeutics for Brain Diseases: We work on treatments based on nanomedicine designed to treat brain metabolic diseases, with a special emphasis on Lafora disease. 

Through rigorous research and international collaborations, the Brain Metabolism Lab aims to advance our understanding of brain health and contribute to the development of novel therapies.
