Exploring the
emotional Brain
Decoding the neurobiology of behavioral states, emotional valence, and vulnerability.
At the Calvigioni Lab, we investigate how brain circuits encode emotions, how behaviors adapt to experiences, and how these processes sometimes transition into pathological states like anxiety and depression.
Our research bridges systems neuroscience, molecular biology, and endocrinology to uncover the cellular mechanisms driving behavioral state transitions and vulnerability. Using cutting-edge tools, we push the boundaries of fundamental neuroscience, paving the way for a future with a deeper understanding of the brain, of behaviors, and of mental illness.
These guiding principles shape our scientific approach.
Together, we shape our environment where ideas and researchers thrive.
