Antonio Cerasa is the head of the neuroimaging laboratory at IBSBC-CNR. He’s also been director of the Biomedical Sciences Department of the CNR in Rome (2025); b) director of the IBSBC-CNR in Milan (2024), and president of CNR Area Mi4 (2024).
He is the scientific referent for CNR in several agreements with IRCCS, universities, national research committees, and PNRR projects.
Author and co-author of more than 250 publications indexed in MedLine [H-Index: 61], he’s received several international awards (from OHBM and ECTRIMS) and a national prize for science dissemination.
I think of myself as a curious individual who likes to discover new viewpoints and worlds. My mission is to use a neuroscience approach to disseminate knowledge. My expertise is characterized by a broad background in neurobiology and neurophysiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders, with specific training in the development of medical devices.
During my Ph.D., my scientific interest veered strongly towards imaging genetics to understand how genes may influence human behavior and neuroanatomy. Next, my research moved towards the neural basis of cognitive neurorehabilitation in neurodegenerative diseases and acquired brain injury
I love collaborating with engineers to develop artificial intelligence algorithms applied to neuroscience and to evaluate the impact of robotic rehabilitation on neural plasticity. Last but not least, my later field of interest concerns Positive Psychology, a broad neuroscientific field focused on mental well-being
Overall, I can define myself as a Translational Neuroscientist
