Over the past 30 years the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory of CNR-IBF, headed by Prof. Michele Migliore, has been involved in the development and implementation of computational models of complex systems.

The broad long-term goal is to investigate, using realistic models and state of the art simulations techniques, the basic processes underlying the nervous system functions and dysfunctions. In close interdisciplinary collaboration with leading experimental laboratories, we investigate neuronal networks and single neurons at different integration levels, always closely related to the available experimental data. The primary current research interests are the mechanisms of learning and memory, synaptic integration, and ion channels function, in the attempt to link behavioral and dysfunctional processes with signal processing at the single neuron or network level.
