Overview

Elisa Ciaramelli is a researcher affiliated with the University of Bologna in Italy. Their work primarily spans the fields of Neuroscience and Psychology, with a strong emphasis on Cognitive Neuroscience and Experimental and Cognitive Psychology. The research covers several specialized subfields including Developmental and Educational Psychology, General Decision Sciences, and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience.

Their research topics broadly engage with areas such as Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies, Memory and Neural Mechanisms, and aspects of Anxiety, Depression, Psychometrics, Treatment, and Cognitive Processes. Additional focus areas include Mind Wandering and Attention, Identity, Memory, and Therapy, Neural Dynamics and Brain Function, and Memory Processes and Influences.

Among recent publications, notable papers include:

  • The role of ventromedial prefrontal cortex in reward valuation and future thinking during intertemporal choice (2021, eLife)
  • Lesion network mapping demonstrates that mind-wandering is associated with the default mode network (2020, Journal of Neuroscience Research)
  • An asymmetry in past and future mental time travel following vmPFC damage (2020, Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience)
  • Present and future self in memory: the role of vmPFC in the self-reference effect (2021, Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience)
  • Functional Interplay Between Posterior Parietal Cortex and Hippocampus During Detection of Memory Targets and Non-targets (2020, Frontiers in Neuroscience)

Publication venues where Elisa Ciaramelli frequently contributes include Neuropsychologia, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Brain and Cognition, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and the Journal of Neuroscience Research.

Their work often features collaborations with several recurring coauthors such as Debora Stendardi, Giovanni Cantarella, R. Shayna Rosenbaum, Alessandro Treves, and Francesca Frassinetti.
