Alessandro Cicerale

Alessandro Cicerale is a research fellow and lecturer at the University of Turin, Italy, whose work focuses on the intersection of neuroscience, eating disorders, and therapeutic neurostimulation. His research activities primarily involve using advanced neuroimaging techniques to study the neural mechanisms underlying eating disorders, aiming to better understand brain changes associated with conditions like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Additionally, Cicerale explores the potential of neurostimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), as treatment options for these disorders. As a lecturer, he likely teaches courses related to neuroscience, neuroimaging techniques, and the neurobiology of eating disorders, sharing cutting-edge research findings with students and training the next generation of specialists. Through his combined focus on neuroimaging and neurostimulation, Cicerale aims to advance our understanding of the neural basis of eating disorders and develop novel, brain-based interventions for these challenging conditions
