GPMLS Fyrirlestur: Neuronal heterogeneity and plasticity in the olfactory bulb

Elisa, a trained cellular electrophysiologist, earned her degrees (BSc in Biology, MSc in Neurobiology) at the University of Pavia, Italy. Her early research focused on cerebellar computation at a cellular and synaptic level. In May 2018, Elisa established her lab at the University of Cambridge's Department of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience. In October 2020, she became a Fellow and Director of Studies in Biological Natural Sciences at Fitzwilliam College. Elisa's research interests center around neuronal plasticity, exploring how the brain responds to sensory stimuli and modifies itself at a cellular level during both development and adulthood. In her lab, the primary focus is on studying different types of neuronal plasticity during development and adulthood, examining their combined impact within individual cells across their lifetime and their effects on network processing.
