Gabriele Miceli è docente della Facoltà di Scienze Cognitive e direttore del Centro di Riabilitazione Neurocognitiva (CeRiN).

Main interests

My research focuses on disorders of cognitive functions, and especially language, following brain damage. I have been involved in research on “agrammatic” comprehension and production, on disorders of semantic and lexical knowledge (anatomoclinical correlates and functional implications of semantic-category, grammatical-category and modality-specific disorders, nature of word retrieval difficulties), and on the mechanisms underlying segmental errors in spoken and written production. I am also involved in studies on the recovery from language disorders, especially at the single-word level.
