A functional neuroimaging study of face processing in early Alzheimer's disease (FMRI IN AD)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,
The present project proposes to combine neuropsychology and modern neuroimaging techniques to investigate the structural damage and the retained functionality of the brain in patients at early stages of Alzheimer's disease. We plan to analyse the neural basis of semantic and lexical processes by concentrating on the particular case of person-specific information, i.e. knowledge about known faces a ...

Strabismus and visual suppression (SVS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2007, End date: Aug 31, 2009,
Strabismus is a common childhood disease, characterized by a failure to align the eyes. Interestingly, few strabismic children complain of double vision. Many may simply be too young to articulate their perceptions, but another critical factor is that children rapidly suppress vision in the deviated eye.This suppression prevents eye alignment by eliminating the error signal that would normally ind ...

The neural basis of number space: probing connectivity and interactions between number and space processing with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) (NBNS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2008,
By adopting a virtual lesion approach, the present project is aimed to map the brain circuitry responsible for the interaction between numbers and space in healthy adults. Some people possess a mental image of the number sequence that is spatially distributed and can be used to carry out calculations. People without an explicit number form nevertheless represent numbers spatially, in Western cultu ...
