Alessandro Gozzi, PhD, is a senior scientist and director of the functional neuroimaging laboratory at the Italian Institute of Technology, in Rovereto, Italy. His research focuses on the functional organization of the mammalian brain at the macroscale. A primary focus of his work is to unravel the neural basis and dynamic organization of large-scale functional connectivity as probed with fMRI, as well as the mechanisms underlying its disruption in brain disorders. To address these questions, he has pioneered cutting-edge methods to map and perturb large-scale brain networks in the living mouse brain. This approach has laid the foundations for an emerging field of research in which large-scale neuroimaging readouts are used as a probe of network activity and dysfunction across species.
