Fernando Fernandez

Fernando Fernandez is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University, with a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Calgary. His work focuses on cortical cell electrophysiology, single-cell modeling, and network oscillations to understand neuronal electrical activity.

• Education: B.Sc. & PhD in Neuroscience, University of Calgary.

Research Interests: Fernandez investigates how biophysical properties of neurons influence synaptic integration and spike output in cortical circuits. His methods include intracellular recordings, two-photon imaging, and computational modeling to study voltage dynamics and oscillatory patterns in awake animals and isolated brain tissue.

Publication Trends: His recent work spans hippocampal memory circuits, cortical inhibition mechanisms, and temperature-dependent ion channel dynamics. Earlier studies emphasize synaptic noise effects on neuronal state transitions, dendritic spike interactions, and voltage fluctuation impacts on firing stability.
