About
Lisa Mapelli is a leading neuroscientist whose research focuses on the mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and cerebellar learning. Her work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of how distributed circuits in the cerebellum adapt and encode motor memories, offering new clues for the neural basis of learning and coordination. Her most-cited paper, "Distributed Circuit Plasticity: New Clues for the Cerebellar Mechanisms of Learning" (2015), has garnered 96 citations, reflecting its influence in reshaping models of cerebellar function beyond the classic long-term depression framework. Mapelli’s contributions have provided critical insights into how plasticity at multiple synaptic sites within cerebellar microcircuits supports behavioral adaptation, bridging cellular mechanisms with systems-level learning. Her research is highly regarded for its integrative approach, combining electrophysiology, computational modeling, and behavioral assays. Through her work, Mapelli has become a key figure in cerebellar neuroscience, inspiring new directions for studying motor learning and neurological disorders.
