معرفی
Giuseppe Busetto is an Assistant Professor at the University of Verona's Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine, and Movement Sciences. His research focuses on synapse competition and plasticity, particularly in the context of neural development and adult synaptic efficacy. He employs electrophysiological techniques such as patch-clamp to study motoneuron activity and synaptic mechanisms, with key findings on synaptic elimination and AMPA receptor dynamics. Dr. Busetto teaches Human Physiology to dental and medical students and contributes to advanced courses in translational biology. His academic roles include membership in the Teachers' Committee for the Neuroscience PhD Program and the Department Council. He is affiliated with research labs like the Neurophysiology and Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory and participates in projects funded by grants such as the FFABR 2017 initiative. His work bridges basic neuroscience with clinical relevance, emphasizing activity-dependent synaptic regulation.
