The research lab led by Dr. Lisandro Cunci at the University of Puerto Rico focuses on developing innovative microelectrode technologies to detect Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in real-time. This work aims to enhance our understanding of how NPY influences brain function and behavior, particularly in relation to stress and anxiety disorders. The lab integrates advanced electrochemical techniques to monitor NPY release in brain slices and single cells, paving the way for breakthroughs in neurology and mental health treatment.
