Prof. Luca Turella leads the PRIN 2022-funded project COMPAACT at the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC), University of Trento. His research focuses on neuroimaging-based characterization of brain networks, particularly the parietal lobe’s role in spatial encoding, motor systems, and cognitive functions. Current projects investigate Parkinson’s disease’s impact on motor/cognitive systems and social cognition deficits.
Education details are not explicitly stated, but his academic trajectory is reflected through decades of neuroimaging and neuroscience publications. Research interests span functional connectivity, theory of mind, motor system plasticity, and neurodegenerative disease biomarkers.
Recent work highlights:
- Development of neuroimaging tools to decode motor intentions and spatial cognition
- Exploration of lockdown effects on Parkinson’s patients’ symptomatology
- Analysis of social cognition deficits linked to Parkinson’s-related brain changes
No scientific awards are listed, but his grants include the prestigious PRIN 2022 national research program. He collaborates extensively on multi-modal neuroimaging studies, emphasizing reproducibility and methodological rigor. His lab focuses on translating neuroimaging findings into clinical applications for neurodegenerative disorders.
