Elisa Galliano

Elisa Galliano is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. She is an University Lecturer in Neuroscience within the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience. Her research focuses on neuronal plasticity, olfaction, dopamine, learning and memory, and the cerebellum. She investigates how different types of neuronal plasticity occur during adulthood and development, their cellular mechanisms, and their impact on network processing. Her work employs techniques such as patch clamp electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry with confocal microscopy, in vivo functional imaging, and stereotaxic surgery.

Elisa Galliano is a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, specializing in the study of neural circuits and plasticity. Her research focuses on the cerebellum, dopaminergic neurons, and sensory systems, with an emphasis on how neural activity and structural changes contribute to learning, motor control, and sensory processing. Galliano's work explores the role of specific cell types, such as Purkinje cells, Golgi cells, and dopaminergic interneurons, in shaping neural function and behavior. Her studies often involve electrophysiological and anatomical approaches to uncover the mechanisms underlying synaptic transmission, plasticity, and developmental neurogenesis.
