Corso: Neuroscience

Curriculum: Neuroscience and Neurotechnology

Coordinatore: Lino Nobili

In collaboration with the Italian Istitute of Technology (IIT)

Research Topics:
 

• Normal and pathological brain function (e.g., channelopathies, synaptopathies)
• Neuroelectronic and opto-neural interfaces
• Pathophysiology of the blood-brain barrier
• Mechanisms of neuroplasticity and their dependence on epigenetic modifications
• Brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders
• Neuronal regeneration and reprogramming
• Genetics and epigenetics of cognitive behavior
• Neurobiology of non-coding RNAs
• Optical approaches to studying neural functions
• Plasticity of inhibitory neuronal systems
• Neuromodulation in cortical and subcortical circuits

All research lines aim to apply multidisciplinary approaches to study brain function and disorders and to develop new technologies for neurological disease therapy.
