Luigi Petrucco
Postdoc at the Iurilli lab, investigating
the neural bases of intelligent behavior in the rodent brain. Big fan of brain interfaces, not cortical circuits, exotic animal models,
history of (neuro)science, crackpot neuroscientific theories, Python programming and DIY setups.
I have got a PhD in Neuroscience in Munich under the supervision of
Ruben Portugues, describing for the first time a
circuit for heading direction integration
in the larval zebrafish brain (you can read my thesis here).
Talks:
- Cosyne 2022:
A network that integrates heading direction in the larval zebrafish brain
- Neuromatch 2020:
BrainGlobe: a Python ecosystem for computational (neuro)anatomy
Teaching:
- Python for (open) Neuroscience:
Python crash course for the Graduate School in Neuroscience at the University of Trento (teaching material,
exercises, and lecture recordings available on GitHub!)
Open source software:
- Stytra:
a Python package to control stimulation and track
behavior in zebrafish experiments.
- BrainGlobe:
a python toolbox for morphological analyses in systems neuroscience.

Notes:
- Lecture notes
for the course Modelling of Cellular Physiology by Prof. Christian Leibold
at LMU Munich.
