Research interests.
The major research interest is a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the cerebral cortex by means of anatomical and physiological techniques. Main lines of research are:
• study of cortical connections of premotor, posterior parietal and prefrontal areas.
• electrophysiological study of neural properties of ventral premotor and inferior parietal cortex (sensori-motor transformations).
• Study of the role of premotor, parietal and prefrontal areas in cognitive functions such as action perception and relationship between action perception and cognition (Mirror mechanism).
• Study of the role of prefrontal cortex in executive functions and in encoding intentional actions.
