Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system (2010)
Journal Article
Urgesi, C., Maieron, M., Avenanti, A., Tidoni, E., Fabbro, F., & Aglioti, S. M. (2010). Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system. Cerebral Cortex, 20(11), 2511-2521. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhp292

Perception of the final position of a moving object or creature is distorted forward along its actual or implied motion path, thus enabling anticipation of its forthcoming position. In a previous research, we demonstrated that viewing static snapshot... Read More about Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system.

Background: Criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) predict dementia risk in the clinic. Dementia risk in the population is different and whether there is an optimal MCI-derived threshold for discriminating at-risk from not-at-risk cases in the...

Education, the brain and dementia: Neuroprotection or compensation? (2010)
Journal Article

The potential protective role of education for dementia is an area of major interest. Almost all older people have some pathology in their brain at death but have not necessarily died with dementia. We have explored these two observations in large po... Read More about Education, the brain and dementia: Neuroprotection or compensation?.
