In our research, we use histochemical, histofluorescent, immunohistochemical, immunohistofluorescent and morphometric methods. Our studies concern mainly the development, construction, histochemistry and cytochemistry of the animal’s nervous system.

In the last decade, microscopic and immunohistochemical studies of neurons and neuroglia which is structurally and functionally related to the nervous system. Our research topics concern the following issues:

1. Neuroprotective role of ganglionic glial cells.

2. Morphological and functional variability of astroglia under the influence of gonadal hormones during oestrus cycle.

3. Distribution of immunopositive neurons reactive for selected calcium binding proteins in the brain of Chinchilla lanigera.

4. Protective influence of lipopolysaccharide on hipocampal neurons and astrocytes in the experimental model of epilepsy.

5. Localisation of oligodendrycytes in weakly myelinated areas of the brain during postnatal development of experimental animals.

6. Variability of astroglia, immunoreactive for selected proteins, in central nervous system areas in different stages of postnatal ontogenesis.

7. Neuronal and glial reactivity in central and periferal nervous system under the influence of egzogenic substances (e.g. capsaicin, rebaudioside A, monosodium glutamate) in different age groups of animals.

8. Influence of prenatal programming of postnatal development on morphology of structures in pig and mouse offspring.
