Gaia Olivo is an Associate Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg within the Section of Neuro, Cognition and Developmental Psychology. Her research focuses on brain imaging studies investigating structural and functional plasticity related to reasoning, skill learning, and developmental disorders like dyslexia.

Research Interests:

• Neuroplasticity mechanisms in cognitive development
• Neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, DTI)
• Motor and cognitive task adaptations
• Brain-body interactions in aging populations

Publications (selected):

• 2024: Brain plasticity in dyslexia through sequence learning
• 2022: Motor tasks and gray matter changes
• 2021: VO₂max associations in older adults

Advising/Grants: No specific grants or advisees listed in current materials. Active in collaborative projects involving cognitive neuroscience and clinical populations.
