Francesco Mattia Rossi is an associate professor at the Universidad de la República, Uruguay, where he leads research on visual cortex plasticity and neuroplasticity. Trained in Italy, with postdoctoral experience in France and Brazil, he has built an internationally recognized career in neuroscience. His research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying brain plasticity, with recent work on cofilin, proteomics, epigenetics, and psychedelic compounds. Rossi has held numerous scientific leadership roles in Latin America, serves on editorial boards and review panels, and has an extensive publication record. He teaches undergraduate and graduate neuroscience courses.

Dutch primate center awaits October animal research debate
Science is forging ahead at the Biomedical Primate Research Centre in the Netherlands, following a reversal of last year’s mandate to phase out primate studies. But researchers aren’t sure how long the reprieve will last.

When we sleep, our brain is filled with spontaneous neural activity. What is it doing?
Daniel Levenstein explains how internally generated brain activity during sleep shapes our cognition, and why NeuroAI is such a powerful approach to understanding the brain.
