Cognitive Neuroscience at SISSA believes in curiosity-driven, bottom-up, fundamental science to explore how the brain generates thinking and behavior. The alternative strategy?
Congratulations to Nicola Binetti, currently research fellow at the University College London, who was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to join the Time Perception Lab at SISSA.
In a study authored by Vahid Esmaeili and Mathew Diamond (head of SISSA's Tactile Perception and Learning Lab), rats compared the speeds of two sequential vibrissal vibrations. Neurons in the primary somatosensory (vS1) and prelimbic (PL) cortex coded the stimuli.
