Sebastiano Bariselli

Sebastiano Bariselli is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at Humanitas University. He holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Geneva (2016), and completed postdoctoral fellowships at NIAAA-NIH and NIDDK-NIH (USA). His research focuses on neural circuit mechanisms underlying behavioral disorders, with emphasis on ethanol-induced neuroadaptations, autism pathophysiology, and sensorimotor integration.

Dr. Bariselli's work examines corticostriatal plasticity, dopamine-acetylcholine interactions, and developmental ethanol exposure effects using rodent models. His recent publications explore striatonigral circuit adaptations in addiction and motor control deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Teaching includes Physiology (Humanitas University) and Methods in Neuroscience (FAES). Awards include multiple Swiss National Science Foundation grants, the AMICITIA Excellence Prize (2019), and best thesis/presentation recognitions.
