New mathematical approaches to dissect neuronal circuit alterations in Rett syndrome using EEG data Electroencephalogram (EEG) scalp recordings are one of the most common measures of brain activity, but EEG data lacks cellular resolution. Stefano Panzeri aims to develop new mathematical models based on…

Sleep-dependent synapse remodeling during development and in a mouse model of Rett syndrome Sleep plays an important role in cognitive functions such as learning and memory, and sleep disruptions are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, including Rett syndrome. The current project aims to understand…
