Growing evidence indicates that there is bidirectional communication between the brain and the immune system. Positioned at the crossroads of neuroscience, immunology, and developmental neurobiology, the Favuzzi lab aims to uncover the ‘neuroscience of immune responses’ from encoding mechanisms to pathology. One of their key research areas is investigating how immune information is encoded within cortical circuits. Another significant research focus is identifying the fundamental biological mechanisms underlying brain and behavioral disorders influenced by immune challenges. Additionally, they plan to explore the role of immune cells in modulating neuronal activity and behavior, but this research direction is not active yet. Their research is question-driven, not technique-driven. We address our research questions using multi-level approaches that bridge molecular, cellular, and imaging techniques with behavior. They combine molecular approaches (e.g. spatial transcriptomics), in vivo two-photon structural and functional imaging, chemogenetics, and modern viral and transgenic tools.
