LEaP - Learning and Plasticity Lab

Hi! I’m Gaia Olivo, P.I. of the LEaP group. Our research focuses on investigating rapid brain plasticity in response to skill learning, aka how our brain changes when we learn new skills.

Exploring rapid brain plasticity…

Óur brain is capable of reorganizing its structure and circuits within minutes in response to new challenges.

…with high-resolution brain imaging…

Magnetic resonance imaging allows us to measure changes in brain structure, volume, and connectivity.

…using a translational approach.

By integrating preclinical and human studies, we combine foundational research with societal impact.
