Paolo Federico

Dr. Paolo Federico is a Professor at the Cumming School of Medicine's Department of Clinical Neurosciences and Full Member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the University of Calgary. He leads the Federico Lab, which focuses on improving epilepsy treatment through advanced neuroimaging research.

Education:

• B.S. Zoology, University of Calgary (1988)
• M.S. Medicine, University of Calgary (1990)
• Ph.D. Medicine, University of Calgary (1994)
• M.D., University of Calgary (1996)

Research Focus: His work investigates seizure generation mechanisms using multimodal approaches including EEG, fMRI, and T2 relaxometry. Specific interests include cortical/subcortical circuitry, interictal discharges, pre-ictal states, brain reorganization in epilepsy, and high-frequency oscillation analysis in both human and animal models.
