BIO

Davide is a neurosurgical fellow at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and at the Cleveland Clinic London Hospital, and a PhD student in Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy at the Institute of Neurology at University College London (Ms. A. Miserocchi, Dr. F. Chowdhury, Prof. J.S. Duncan). He completed neurosurgical training with Prof. Francesco Sala in Italy and Prof. Hugues Duffau in France.

His work focuses on functional neuroanatomy and connectomics to improve seizure and cognitive outcome in resective surgery. He has a keen interest in direct white matter stimulation for network preservation during awake surgery. Together with Professor Duffau he recently proposed a reappraisal of current anatomical models for language function (Giampiccolo and Duffau, Brain, 2022). Together with Prof. Duncan, he provided clinical evidence that thalamostriatal disconnection during surgery supports lasting seizure-freedom (Giampiccolo et al, Brain, 2023).
