Angelina Tadić

I come from Croatia, where I obtained my M.Sc. in Psychology at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, in 2018. I then moved to Slovenia, Koper, where I studied Biopsychology at the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies, University of Primorska, and got interested in Neuroscience. I joined SISSA in 2019 as an Erasmus+ intern in the Visual Neuroscience lab, which grew into a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience admission in 2020. My research project aims to investigate whether visual perceptual deficits reported in autistic individuals are present in a genetic (SCN2A heterozygous knockout) rat model of ASD and whether they co-occur with cortical circuit-level dysfunctions.
