Overview

Sabrina Pitzalis is affiliated with Sapienza University of Rome in Italy. Their research area centers predominantly on neuroscience, with a specialization in cognitive neuroscience, contributing significantly to subfields including neurology, social psychology, biomedical engineering, and physical therapy, sports therapy, and rehabilitation.

The main topics addressed in their work include:

  • Visual perception and processing mechanisms
  • Motor Control and Adaptation
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces
  • Vestibular and auditory disorders
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies

Pitzalis has published extensively in neuroscience-focused journals, with frequent contributions to venues such as Brain Structure and Function, NeuroImage, Cortex, Biological Psychology, and Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews.

Some recent publications include:

  • "A common neural substrate for processing scenes and egomotion-compatible visual motion" (2020) in Brain Structure and Function
  • "Functional organization of the caudal part of the human superior parietal lobule" (2023) in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • "Preference for locomotion-compatible curved paths and forward direction of self-motion in somatomotor and visual areas" (2021) in Cortex
  • "Real and Imagined Grasping Movements Differently Activate the Human Dorsomedial Parietal Cortex" (2020) in Neuroscience
  • "Multisensory integration in cortical regions responding to locomotion-related visual and somatomotor signals" (2021) in NeuroImage

Their research network includes frequent collaboration with several coauthors, notably Valentina Sulpizio, Gaspare Galati, Francesco Di Russo, Patrizia Fattori, and Claudio Galletti, each contributing to multiple joint works.
