Elena Montagni

PostDOC

Dr. Elena Montagni obtained a master degree in Neurobiology in 2017 at the University of Pavia. From 2017 to 2020 she attended the International PhD in Atomic and Molecular Photonics at University of Florence. During the PhD she investigated the functional organization of the motor cortex and its role in forelimb movement control by coupling optogenetics and calcium imaging to perform simultaneous all-optical manipulation and recording of mouse motor cortex. Since 2021 Dr. Montagni has held a post-doc fellowship at the European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy (LENS) in Florence granted by the Human Brain Project (HBP). Her research interest is focused on slow wave propagation and how the cortical network integrates sensory information under different levels of anesthesia.
