Alexandra Gribizis

Dr. Alexandra Gribizis is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Florida Institute (MPFI). Her research focuses on neurodevelopmental processes in sensory systems, particularly the visual and auditory systems. She investigates how spontaneous activity and sensory input contribute to the maturation of neural circuits and the emergence of functional connectivity.

Her research interests include the development of visual and auditory systems, mechanisms of homeostatic control in neural activity, and the application of neuroimaging techniques to study epileptogenesis and seizure mechanisms. She has contributed to understanding how retinal waves simulate future optic flow, the role of efferent feedback in auditory systems, and the independence of visual cortex activity from peripheral input before eye opening.

Dr. Gribizis has published on topics such as neuroimaging biomarkers for epilepsy and strategies to prevent epileptogenesis. Her work bridges developmental neuroscience and clinical applications, aiming to uncover fundamental mechanisms underlying sensory system maturation and neurological disorders.
