Maurizio Corbetta is a neurologist who investigates the functional and structural organization of the brain, cognition, and neurological recovery following injuries. M. Corbetta has made groundbreaking discoveries related to attention control and its relationship to specific brain networks using neuroimaging. Specifically, he has identified two brain networks associated with attention control and has provide a model for normal and pathological human attention. M. Corbetta has also focused on understanding the functional organization of brain networks employing a combination of fMRI, electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG). His work has revealed that the seemingly random activity in the brain is organized in both space and time, and that this spontaneous architecture is a fundamental feature of the brain. Finally, M. Corbetta has shown that focal brain injuries can lead to widespread functional brain network abnormalities, which in turn explain behavioral deficits and recovery processes. M. 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, member of the prestigious “Academia dei Lincei”, and serves as the coordinator of the ERC Synergy project NEMESIS aimed at understanding the circuit mechanisms of stroke and their modulation through non-invasive stimulation.
