Barbora Fulopova

Dr. Barbora Fulopova is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on neural adaptation in health and disease, particularly investigating presynaptic axonal pathology in neurodegenerative conditions like dementia and stroke. She employs advanced neurophysiological techniques, including in vivo imaging and patch clamp recordings, to study neural circuit recovery.

Education:

• PhD in Medical Studies (Neuroscience), 2021 – Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre, University of Tasmania

Research Interests:

• Neurodegenerative mechanisms in Alzheimer’s disease
• Stroke-induced neural circuit disruption and repair
• Role of synaptic plasticity and axonal pathology in cognitive decline

Publications: Her work spans molecular mechanisms of memory (e.g., m6A RNA modifications) to translational studies using preclinical models. Key themes include synaptic density preservation in aging and therapeutic potential of neuromodulation techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation.
