Present Position<br />

Assistant Professor/Lecturer in Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Udine.<br />

Senior Researcher, Scientific Institute “E. Medea”, Polo Friuli Venezia Giulia.<br />

Research activities<br />

Urgesi’s major expertise is in single pulse and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) of body and<br />

action representation. In a series of studies, he and his colleagues have demonstrated for the first time ever<br />

that transitory ‘lesion’ of extrastriate body area (EBA), which is selectively activated by pictures of human body<br />

and parts of it, impaired the visual processing of body-related, non facial stimuli (Urgesi et al., 2004).<br />

Furthermore, they demonstrated the causative role played by two different neural systems, extrastriate visual<br />

areas and premotor cortex, in extracting morphology- or action-related features from pictures of body parts<br />

(Urgesi et al., 2007a; 2007b). The TMS studies in healthy individuals have been conducted in parallel with the<br />

neuropsychological study of brain lesion patients, describing the existence of new forms of selective visual<br />

recognition disorders, namely body form and body action agnosia (Moro et al., 2008). In recent years, he has<br />

translated the results of his basic neuroscience researches on the neuropsychological and neurophysiologic<br />

evaluation of mental disorders, and in particular of eating disorders. Furthermore, he serves as Scientific<br />

Consultant at the Scientific Institute “E. Medea”, a research child hospital specialized for neurodevelopmental<br />

disorders, where he has coordinated, with Prof. Fabbro Franco, the Italian standardization of the NEPSY-II, a<br />

neuropsychological battery of tests for children aged 3-16 years. Presently, he coordinates the TMS Laboratory<br />

at the Hospital Gervasutta of Udine, in collaboration with the University of Udine and with the Scientific Institute<br />

(IRCCS) “E. Medea”, where clinical-rehabilitative and basic research studies are conducted.<br />

His research interests include the study of:<br />

-the neural basis and development of corporeal knowledge;<br />

-the neural mechanisms involved in action prediction and anticipation,<br />

-the neural and cognitive correlates of elite sport performance and sport learning;<br />

-the neural bases of spiritual and religious experiences.<br />

Since 2004, he has published 27 peer-reviewed publications, including top neuroscience and multidisciplinary<br />

journals (Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, Current Biology, Journal of Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex), the Italian<br />

standardization of a neuropsychological test, 3 book chapters and 4 lay-people articles in Italian journals. His<br />

works have been cited 774 times and his H-index is 12 (march 2012).
