Overview

Giuseppe Luppino is affiliated with the University of Parma in Italy and specializes in neuroscience and medicine. Their research primarily focuses on cognitive neuroscience, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, neurology, experimental and cognitive psychology, and molecular biology. The scientist's work spans multiple topics, with particular attention to neural dynamics and brain function, functional brain connectivity studies, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, visual perception and processing mechanisms, motor control and adaptation, advanced MRI techniques and applications, and transcranial magnetic stimulation studies.

Luppino has contributed to several papers in reputable journals, with recent publications including:

  • Laminar Origin of Corticostriatal Projections to the Motor Putamen in the Macaque Brain, 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Reproducing macaque lateral grasping and oculomotor networks using resting state functional connectivity and diffusion tractography, 2020, Brain Structure and Function
  • Crossed Corticostriatal Projections in the Macaque Brain, 2022, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Comparative anatomy of the macaque and the human frontal oculomotor domain, 2021, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • The Complex Hodological Architecture of the Macaque Dorsal Intraparietal Areas as Emerging from Neural Tracers and DW-MRI Tractography, 2021, eNeuro

The scientist frequently collaborates with colleagues such as Elena Borra, Marzio Gerbella, Stefano Rozzi, Marianna Rizzo, and Luciano Simone. These collaborations have contributed to a diverse and multidisciplinary approach in the field.

Luppino's publications appear regularly in journals such as:

  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • Brain Structure and Function
  • Progress in Neurobiology
  • Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • eNeuro

Their body of work reflects a consistent engagement with cutting-edge methods in neuroimaging and brain connectivity, aiming to elucidate the structural and functional aspects of the primate brain, particularly the macaque model. The research includes investigations into corticostriatal projections, oculomotor domains, and the neural architecture of intraparietal areas, often integrating anatomical and functional data obtained through neural tracers and diffusion MRI tractography techniques.
