Mirko Zanon

Mirko Zanon is a Research Fellow at the Interdepartmental Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMEC) at the University of Trento, Italy. His work is based at P.zza Manifattura, 1 - 38068 Rovereto, where he conducts research at the intersection of neuroscience, biophysics, and cognitive science with a particular focus on numerical cognition and brain function across different species.

Dr. Zanon's research interests span multiple domains including Biophysics, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and Animal Cognition, with a specific emphasis on Numerosity processing, Brain Imaging, and Electrophysiology. His work employs diverse animal models including chicks, zebrafish, archerfish, and insects to investigate fundamental questions about innate cognitive abilities and neural mechanisms.

His publication record shows consistent high-impact output since 2018, with particular productivity in 2022-2024. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on numerical cognition across species, neural coding mechanisms, and the development of standardized experimental tools for cognitive research. His work demonstrates interdisciplinary collaboration across neuroscience, ethology, and computational approaches.

Dr. Zanon has established significant collaborative relationships with researchers including George Vallortigara (appearing as co-author on 8 publications), Albrecht Haase, and Dmitry Kobylkov. These collaborations span multiple species and methodologies, reflecting the breadth of his research program.
