Lauri V. Elsilä
How to pronounce my name, you wonder? Check it here.
I am Lauri Elsilä, a researcher in the fields of neuroscience and pharmacology. I recently finished my PhD degree – with a project concentrating on preclinical behavioural pharmacology of psychedelic drugs – under the supervision of professor emeritus Esa Korpi and Dr. Teemu Aitta-aho at the Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki.
Currently, I work as a University instructor in pharmacology at the University of Helsinki and am a member of Loss of Control Behaviours lab, led by Dr. Teemu Aitta-aho.
I am trained as a pharmacist, but my interest towards the brain has followed me through the studies, growing stronger in the course of time. Currently, I am especially interested in behavioural neuroscience, in the serotonin system and its contribution to adaptive behaviours, and associative memory.
More related to my formal education, I am also interested in psychopharmacology and psychiatric disorders, and especially in the preclinical-to-clinical level of translatability of the current preclinical models.
