About
Antonio Cerasa is a leading translational neuroscientist whose work sits at the intersection of neurorehabilitation, social robotics, and neuroimaging. His research primarily focuses on two transformative areas: using robotic and information-communication technologies (ICTs) to treat children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), and employing exoskeleton-robot-assisted therapy to promote motor recovery in stroke patients. Cerasa’s highly cited 2022 review on social humanoid robots for children with ASD (71 citations) established a critical framework for understanding how these tools can enhance social skills and communication, while also identifying their current limitations. In stroke rehabilitation, his 2023 study on neural plasticity changes induced by motor robotic rehabilitation (33 citations) pioneered the use of functional neuroimaging to reveal the brain’s adaptive mechanisms during recovery. His lesion mapping study (2018, 28 citations) further demonstrated how specific brain regions respond to exoskeleton therapy, bridging neuroscience principles with clinical practice. Cerasa’s work has been instrumental in demonstrating that robot-assisted therapy can boost neuroplasticity, offering a data-driven path toward personalized, technology-enhanced rehabilitation for some of the most challenging neurological conditions.
