Dr Federico Brandalise Dr Federico Brandalise (University of Milan) presents his work on understanding how ion channels regulate the physiology of the cells in the central nervous system. Hosted by Dr William Brackenbury.

Dr Federico Brandalise

Federico completed his PhD in neuroscience
at the University of Zurich, Brain Research Institute. He then went on to a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Learning and Memory, University of Texas at Austin. The project was titled "Dynamics and Plasticity of Dendritic Signaling in the Prefrontal Cortex of a Fragile X Syndrome Mouse Model". In 2018, Federico then moved to the Department of Fundamental Neuroscience (NEUFO) at the University of Geneva where he studied POM learning-related modulation of active S1 cortical dendrites during a texture-discrimination task. 

In 2021, Federico moved to the Department of Bioscience, University of Milan to research the circuits involved in processing synaptic inputs in the hippocampus by using an electrophysiological and imaging approach. In particular, examining the integration of diverse inputs onto CA3 pyramidal cells and how these inputs converge to generate dendritic spikes.
