The main effort of Dr. Ascoli’s lab is to connect the cellular organization of brain networks to cognitive functions such as learning and memory. His laboratory hosts and curates a central inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons in NeuroMorpho.Org and Hippocampome knowledge base and has developed L-Neuron, a neuron modeling tool. His long-term scientific and philosophical goal consists in establishing a working model for the highest cognitive functions such as human consciousness.
