Hana Hasanbegovic

Hana Hasanbegovic is a Researcher in the Department of Neurosciences at Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in neural mechanisms of motor control and learning with emphasis on cerebellar and midbrain circuits.

Her research spans motor learning, neural circuit dynamics, and synaptic plasticity, investigating cerebellar roles in goal-directed behavior, midbrain-thalamus-cortex circuit reorganization during movement initiation, and protein phosphatase 2B's dual function in synaptic integrity. Key topics include calcineurin signaling, postsynaptic density organization, and thalamic-motor cortex interactions.

Analysis of her publications reveals a cohesive focus on systems-level motor neuroscience, integrating molecular mechanisms (e.g., protein phosphatase 2B) with circuit-level dynamics. Her work demonstrates how midbrain circuits reorganize cortical activity for movement initiation and how synaptic integrity mechanisms enable motor learning, with implications for movement disorders like ataxia.
