Research: physiology and development  of synapses both in the central and in the peripheral nervous system.  Focus on the mechanisms of synaptic competition and elimination during development, and on the synaptic plasticity in the adult. Intracellular and patch-clamp electrophysiological techniques. Relevant findings: experimental demonstration of the importance of pattern of electric activity of motoneurons in determining the competitive outcome during the developmental process of synaptic elimination; 2) demonstration that motoneurons’ firing activity is highly synchronous at birth, and become asynchronous within 2 weeks from birth. This finding is of relevance in the process of synaptic competition. 3) experimental demonstration that the so called “silent synapses” lack of glutamatergic AMPA-type receptors.
Teaching: Human Physiology to dental students.
