It all starts with the excision of a small human cortical piece

My research integrates advanced neurophysiological and microscopic techniques, with histology and cutting-edge signal processing analysis to explore the fundamental aspects of brain function under health and disease. I focus on cellular communication and network dynamics and interrogate the interplay between intrinsic ionic mechanisms, synaptic transmission and native glial dynamics in relation to physiological and pathophysiological states in neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease.
