Aldo Spolaore
Physician, neurosurgery resident and brain-imaging researcher in Tübingen, Germany.
I am building Cerebrarium, a 3D atlas of the human brain made from open research scans. The reels on Instagram as @neuroatlas_3d, started in October 2026, are made with it.
Research
My research is on brain imaging for neurosurgery: deep brain stimulation, and voxel-based lesion mapping in neurosurgical oncology.
