About
Lorenzo Fabrizi is a leading researcher in developmental neuroscience, with a primary focus on the neurophysiological basis of pain and touch in the developing human brain. His work bridges the gap between basic neuroscience and clinical application, particularly in understanding how the brain processes sensory information before and after birth. A key contribution is the development of a simple, fMRI-compatible robotic stimulator (2016, 8 citations), which allows for precise, non-invasive investigation of the somatosensory system using innocuous and noxious mechanical stimuli. This tool has been instrumental in advancing the study of pain perception. More recently, his 2022 work (2 citations) has explored the neurophysiological basis of hemodynamic responses in the preterm infant brain, revealing how neural activity—specifically EEG microstates—drives blood flow changes before normal birth. This research is critical for understanding neurovascular coupling in early development and has implications for protecting the vulnerable preterm brain from injury. Fabrizi’s work is notable for its innovative integration of EEG and fMRI techniques, providing a foundational understanding of how the developing brain processes sensory and painful stimuli.
