Mattia Aime is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern in the group headed by Prof. Adamantidis. He previously completed his PhD at the University of Bordeaux, where he identified a neuronal mechanism involved in processing emotionally related information in the mouse brain. His current research focuses on establishing the connection between REM sleep and emotional processing to identify new therapeutic targets for the maladaptive processing of emotional memories. In recognition of his work, he was recently honored with the prestigious Pfizer Research Prize for Neuroscience.
