Project Title: Anatomical and Histological Characterization of the Autonomic Innervation of Pelvic Organs for the Selection of Neuromodulation Pathways in Translational Neuroengineering Applications
Abstract: This PhD project aims to investigate the autonomic innervation of the pelvic organs through detailed anatomical and histological analyses. Using advanced neuroanatomical tracing techniques and specific markers, the project seeks to map the complex neural pathways that regulate pelvic functions. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the neuroanatomy of the pudendal, pelvic, and hypogastric nerves and how these nerves regulate pelvic organ functions. Additionally, collaboration is being carried out with Prof. Silvestro Micera and his team at the Biorobotics Institute, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, to identify and optimize neuromodulation pathways for the development of targeted therapies for pelvic health disorders. The results of this research are expected to make a significant contribution to the field of neuroengineering and guide the design and implementation of neuromodulation therapies and devices, particularly those aimed at improving the quality of life for patients with pelvic disorders.
