Dr. Lida Zoupi Chancellor's Fellow Current research interests We study how neurons and oligodendrocytes communicate during brain development using in vitro primary cultures, organotypic brain slices and in vivo models of neurodevelopmental disorders. Combining high resolution imaging and electrophysiology, we investigate how myelin shapes neural circuits and explore strategies to restore healthy network function. Research in a nutshell Our research focuses on the communication between neurons and oligodendrocytes during both typical and altered brain development. We investigate how myelin influences the formation and function of developing brain networks and whether targeting oligodendrocytes can help restore healthy neuronal communication in neurodevelopmental disorders.
