Overview

Patrizia Fattori is affiliated with the University of Bologna in Italy. The core of their research lies in neuroscience, with a specialization in cognitive neuroscience. Their scientific work covers a range of interconnected subfields including biomedical engineering, social psychology, neurology, and cellular and molecular neuroscience.

The main topics explored in their publications reflect a focus on the neural mechanisms underpinning motor control and adaptation, visual perception and processing mechanisms, as well as neural dynamics and brain function. Additional areas of research include muscle activation and electromyography studies, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, action observation and synchronization, and neural and behavioral psychology studies.

Fattori's publication record includes papers in several frequently appearing venues, demonstrating a breadth of interdisciplinary involvement. Prominent journals where they have published multiple times are:

  • Journal of Vision
  • Brain Structure and Function
  • PLoS ONE
  • Cerebral Cortex
  • NeuroImage

Some of their recent papers exemplify the scientific agenda and topical scope:

  • The superior parietal lobule of primates: a sensory-motor hub for interaction with the environment (2021, Journal of Integrative Neuroscience)
  • A common neural substrate for processing scenes and egomotion-compatible visual motion (2020, Brain Structure and Function)
  • Mixed Selectivity in Macaque Medial Parietal Cortex during Eye-Hand Reaching (2020, iScience)
  • Functional organization of the caudal part of the human superior parietal lobule (2023, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews)
  • Vision for action: thalamic and cortical inputs to the macaque superior parietal lobule (2021, Brain Structure and Function)

Fattori frequently collaborates with several co-authors who are recurrent partners in their research projects. These include Claudio Galletti, Matteo Filippini, Annalisa Bosco, Stefano Diomedi, and F Vaccari.
