2 Present Department of Psychology, Yale University New Haven, USA Investigate the basic neural mechanisms underlying social cognition and behavior. Experiments in nonhuman primates will examine the effect of oxytocin on amygdala and prefrontal neurons in social decision making. Advisor: S. Chang, PhD PhD student October 2011 March 2014 Laboratory of Neuropsychology, Unit on Learning and Decision Making Bethesda, USA National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), NIH Investigate the role of the frontal limbic circuits, and particularly the role of the amygdala on emotion and attention. Experiments in monkeys examined the effects of focal lesions and pharmacological manipulations. Advisor: B. Averbeck, PhD Research Assistant September 2009 October 2011 Cognitive Neuroscience Section (CNS) Bethesda, USA National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke (NINDS), NIH Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine (CNRM), Henry M. Jackson Foundation Investigate the neural substrate involved in the recognition of basic and complex emotions using a whole brain voxel based lesion symptom mapping (VLSM) approach in a large population with traumatic brain injuries. Advisors: J. Grafman, PhD and F. Krueger, PhD Post laureate practice September 2008 June 2009 Department of Neuropsychology Turin, Rehabilitation Center, San Camillo Hospital Neuropsychological assessment in patients with stroke. Data collection pursuing the thesis degree on unilateral neglect Advisor: A. Berti, MD
