PhD student at @cimec_unitrento @IITalk | prev. at @yale @ucl | interested in preclinical+human neuroimaging and neurodevelopmental disorders

Joined September 2018
Our latest work is online today @ScienceAdvances ➡️Brain connectivity in carriers of high risk mutations for #autism and #schizophrenia U-turns across adolescence (hyper -> hypo) ➡️This switch is driven by synaptic remodeling science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… Full explainer below 👇
➡️What's the significance of brain dysconnectivity in developmental disorders? ➡️And what are its underpinnings? To address these questions we mapped connectivity in carriers of high-risk mutations for autism and schizophrenia➡️tinyurl.com/ytuca74u Here's what we found🧵 1/n

Exciting new work by @loopyluppi &⭐️coauthors showing that in 👨‍🦰🐵🐭 large-scale modelling of fMRI activity is largely improved by accounting for *competitive* interactions between areas (i.e. assuming that when one area is active, another quiets down) ➡️tinyurl.com/2wsr4nnf

As a last note, my lab still has PhD, PostDoc openings and we are also recruiting a lab technician (see below). So if you're at #SfN24 and want to discuss make sure to get in touch! ➡️ fens.org/careers/job-market/… ➡️ fens.org/careers/job-market/…

Talk #3 is by @StueferAlexia (Sun, 2:30 pm) who will address a long-standing chicken/egg question: is E/I imbalance a cause or a (compensatory) consequence of autism-like syndromes🐔🐣? Spoiler: A brief postnatal increase in E/I balance permanently disrupts social behavior! 3/4

Talk #2 is by @e_deguz (Same session, 13:30 pm). Elizabeth used synthetic (optogenetically-generated) brain oscillations to probe the brain rhythms that *causally* sustain fMRI connectivity Spoiler: Regions of the default-mode network show resonance properties🧠! 2/4

After a long while, my lab is returning to #SfN24 with three talks 🎉 First up (SAT 1:15 pm) is rising ⭐️ @chiarapepe95 who will show how 🐁 connectivity networks can be mapped using functional ultrasound (fUSI - featuring 🌟 @mariani_jc) Spoiler: Who needs fMRI anymore?!😅 1/4

Looking forward to taking part in @wireditalia Next Fest 2024 in #Rovereto Sept 29 at 12 PM with @mvlombardo🎤 We’ll discuss #autism research @IITalk & how the brain's "dark energy" can help us decipher the biology of these complex disorders. Join us on Sunday to learn more!

Yes ! Please join us 🙏. Too many questions and amazing data for too few hours in a day. The first snow covered the mountains two days ago. If you act quickly afterwork ski are at the corner ⛷️

What does the awake brain look like after morphine injection?... I can't stop watching this mesmerizing complex and stereotypic correlation structure... More in our preprint 👇 #fUS #neuroimaging #pharmacology #braindynamics

RABIES is officially out in @NatureComms, check it out doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-5…! Many many thanks to @gadevenyi, @grandjeanlab and my supervisor @mallarchkrvrty1 for getting us there. It was well worth the patience and hard work!
Major updates on the RABIES preprint are out doi.org/10.1101/2022.08.20.5…! In this work by @gadevenyi, @grandjeanlab, @mallarchkrvrty1 and I, we introduce the RABIES pipeline (github.com/CoBrALab/RABIES), our effort in offering standardized tools for the rodent fMRI community.

First time our work is outside the lab walls! So excited 😍 @mariani_jc will wait for you at #FENS2024 PS05-28AM-474 on Friday 🐭🧠
I am delighted to present my work at #FENS2024 on @chiarapep95 wonderful dataset acquired with the @iconeus system in anesthetized mice at @Gozzi_Ale lab. If you are interested  in #neuroimaging #fUS structure/function link or #braindynamics, poster is  PS05-28AM-474 on Friday.
