 Cellular and molecular bases of intercellular communication- synaptic paracrine and hormonal
 Synaptic transmission – molecular determinants of electrical and chemical neurotransmission
 Physiological and pathological alterations of ionic equilibrium, ionic channels and receptors
 - Short and long term synaptic plasticity of glutamatergic receptors
 - Channelopathies of cardiac muscle (long QT syndrome), skeletal muscle (myasthenia), epileptic and ALS associated channelopathies
