Overview

Maurice Ptito is affiliated with the University of Montreal in Canada and has contributed extensively to the fields of neuroscience and medicine. Their research spans several subfields, including cognitive neuroscience, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, cellular and molecular neuroscience, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, and molecular biology.

The primary topics Maurice Ptito investigates include tactile and sensory interactions, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, visual perception and processing mechanisms, advanced MRI techniques and applications, gaze tracking and assistive technology, neural dynamics and brain function, and neuroscience and neural engineering.

They have coauthored numerous publications with several frequent collaborators, including Maxime Bleau, Ron Kupers, Tim B. Dyrby, Daniel-Robert Chebat, and Jean-François Bouchard. Their work is frequently published in venues such as Cells, Frontiers in Neuroscience, Scientific Reports, Sensors, and Brain Sciences.

Several recent papers by Maurice Ptito and colleagues include:

  • "The Retina: A Window into the Brain," 2021, published in Cells
  • "Brain-Machine Interfaces to Assist the Blind," 2021, published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience

Other notable publications connected with their research area, though authored by collaborators, are:

  • "Axon morphology is modulated by the local environment and impacts the noninvasive investigation of its structure-function relationship," 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • "Differences in Frontal Network Anatomy Across Primate Species," 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • "The functional characterization of callosal connections," 2021, Progress in Neurobiology

Maurice Ptito has also contributed to academic literature through book publications, including a recent title published by Frontiers Media in 2023 called "Brain Plasticity Following Sensory Loss: From Basic Mechanisms to Therapy."
