Read moreGettare luce sul funzionamento del cervello, e non solo in senso figurato: parliamo di una microsonda ottica che, attraverso l’impulso luminoso, consente di modulare l’attività elettrica del cervello, analizzandone aree sempre più ampie e profonde, al fine di comprendere meglio le basi fisiopatologiche di alcune malattie. Di questo si occupa l’équipe di ricercatori coordinata da Ferruccio Pisanello e Massimo De Vittorio, che ha ricevuto finanziamenti dell’European Research Council (ERC), dalla Commissione Europea e dal National Institute of Health (NIH) statunitense.
