Chiara Begliomini is an Associate Professor at the Department of General Psychology, University of Padova. Her research focuses on neural mechanisms underlying action planning and execution, particularly using functional MRI (fMRI) to investigate motor control, handedness effects, and cerebellar contributions to cognition. She explores cognitive and motor functions across the lifespan, with a special emphasis on aging populations and neurological disorders.
Her work integrates neuroimaging techniques such as VBM and DTI to study brain structure-function relationships. Key research topics include cerebellar laterality, the impact of cognitive reserve on neurodegeneration, and the neuropsychological consequences of post-COVID-19 infection. She also investigates behavioral and neural correlates of binge eating, impulse control, and sensorimotor integration in grasping movements.
Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, combining fMRI with kinematic analyses and neuromodulation techniques. Her studies often address clinical populations, such as individuals with mild cognitive impairment, anorexia nervosa, and cerebellar hypoplasia.
Her research portfolio reveals a strong focus on translational neuroscience, bridging basic science and clinical applications. Ongoing work explores cerebellar-cortical interactions, the role of handedness in motor networks, and the neurobiological basis of agency and intentionality.
