DESCRIPTION:Valerio Zerbi\nAbstract\n\nThe mission of my lab is to unders
 tand the biological underpinning of functional neuroimaging data. O
 ne of ourcore competencies is that we are able to back-translate functio
 nal imaging methods used in the clinic (e.g. functional MRI) in rodent mod
 els\, and use them in combination with viral (chemo and optogenetic) and e
 lectrical (temporal interference) neurostimulation approaches\, electrophy
 siology and computational models. With these tools\, we tackle research qu
 estions that span from the basic physiology of cells-to-network interactio
 ns\, to the study of brain signatures underpinning different neurological 
 and psychiatric conditions.\nIn this talk\, I will show how we used these 
 methods (1) to describe common signatures underpinning the pathophysiolog
 y of Autism\, and (2) to study how the Locus Coeruleous / Norepineprhine s
 ystems influence neural computations at the network level. \n\n\n\nBio:\n
 \nValerio Zerbi got his master degree in Biomedical Engineering (2008) at 
 the Politecnico of Milano\, Italy. Thereafter he moved to the Netherlands\
 , where he successfully obtained a PhD in Medical Sciences (2013) at the R
 adboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre\, Nijmegen\, as well as the dipl
 oma at the Donders Graduate School for Cognitive Neuroscience. In these ye
 ars he became responsible for the small-​animal MRI work in his research
  group\, which led him on several international collaborations in the fiel
 d of neuroscience. In 2014 he moved to Zurich\, where he won the prestigio
 us ETH Postdoctoral Fellowship award\, to work in the Neural Control of Mo
 vement lab in collaboration with Prof. Wenderoth. Since 2017 Valerio is a 
 Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Ambizione fellow. He is currently
  leading an independent research team of 3 PhD Students\, has published 34
  peer-​reviewed manuscripts of which 13 as (co)first author\, been cited
  ~1000 times and has received ~1.4M EUR in research (public) funding.
