Ranshi Samandra

Ranshi Samandra is a Research Fellow in the Department of Physiology at Monash University, actively contributing to cognitive and systems neuroscience research. Her work explores the neural underpinnings of working memory, social cognition, and behavioral control in both human and non-human primate models.

Her research interests center on cognitive neuroscience, particularly the neural mechanisms of working memory, prefrontal cortex function, and social cognition in health and disease. She employs brain stimulation techniques and comparative models, especially the marmoset, to investigate executive functions and sex-dependent neural responses.

The recent publications indicate a strong focus on cognitive control, cross-species neural mechanisms, and environmental modulation of behavior. Her work bridges experimental neuroscience with translational applications, particularly in understanding neuropsychiatric disorders through animal models.

She collaborates extensively with leading neuroscientists, including Dr. Farshad A. Mansouri and Professor Marcello G. P. Rosa, and her research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being. Though no formal awards are listed, her publications appear in high-impact, peer-reviewed, open-access journals such as Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Neuroscience, and Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews.

Ranshi Samandra has not listed any PhD or Master’s students, nor specific grants or laboratory affiliations in the provided text. However, her consistent research output suggests active involvement in a neuroscience research team at Monash University.
