Biography

Maurizio Corbetta is a neurologist interested in the organization of the brain, cognition, and neurological recovery following injuries. Corbetta has identified two brain networks associated with healthy attention and has provide a pathophysiological model of spatial neglect. Corbetta has focused on understanding the functional organization of brain networks employing a combination of fMRI, electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG). Finally, Corbetta has shown that focal brain injuries can lead to widespread functional brain network abnormalities, which in turn explain behavioral deficits and recovery processes. Maurizio Corbetta is Professor and Chair of Neurology at the University of Padova, and Emeritus Professor at the Washington University St.Louis. He is also the Founding Director of the Padova Neuroscience Center, a multidisciplinary research center dedicated to Systems, Computational, and Circuit Neuroscience. He is a Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate, and member of the Academia dei Lincei. He serves as coordinator of the ERC Synergy project NEMESIS aimed at understanding the circuit mechanisms of stroke and their modulation through non-invasive stimulation, and he will coordinate clinical neuroscience research in EBRAINS . —-
