Rocco Palumbo earned his Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Chieti, Italy. After a year as a visiting student at Brandeis University, he began a postdoctoral fellowship at the Schepens Eye Research Institute, Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on monitoring changes in cognitive functions across healthy and pathological populations, examining how cognitive abilities such as perception, attention, emotion, and memory evolve throughout the lifespan and are affected by conditions like dementia and mental disorders. Currently an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, Palumbo serves as Program Manager at the Center for Translational Cognitive Neuroscience at the VA Boston Healthcare System. His ongoing projects scrutinize the role of false memories in patients with memory disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease and other brain conditions.
