Marcela Perrone-Bertolotti

Marcela Perrone-Bertolotti serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Grenoble Alpes University, conducting research at the Psychology and NeuroCognition Lab (LPNC). Since October 2018, she has held the prestigious position of junior member at the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), recognizing her significant contributions to cognitive neuroscience.

Her research centers on the intricate interactions between language processing and other cognitive systems, specifically motor-action, executive functions, and mentalizing networks. Through the interdisciplinary LINK project, she employs advanced methodologies including eye-tracking, functional MRI, intracranial EEG, and transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate neural substrates, temporal dynamics, and causal mechanisms underlying language-cognition integration. This work aims to establish a comprehensive neurocognitive model of language while pioneering applications in clinical neurorehabilitation for language disorders.

Her scientific achievements are highlighted by her appointment to the Institut Universitaire de France, a distinction awarded to exceptional researchers in France. She leads investigations into how specialized language networks interface with broader cognitive machinery, with implications for therapeutic interventions targeting language rehabilitation.

As a core researcher at the Psychology and NeuroCognition Lab (LPNC), she directs projects examining anatomo-functional interactions between linguistic processing and perception, action, executive control, and social cognition systems. Her work bridges theoretical cognitive neuroscience with practical clinical applications through rigorous experimental paradigms and multimodal neuroimaging approaches.
