About
Charalambos Papaxanthis is a neuroscientist whose research sits at the intersection of motor control, sensorimotor adaptation, and gravitational neuroscience. His work has made significant contributions to understanding how the human brain represents and integrates gravitational forces to plan and execute movements. A central thread running through his research is the investigation of how the central nervous system — particularly the cerebellum — computes internal models of gravity, enabling precise control of arm movements under varying gravitational contexts, including simulated microgravity and hypergravity conditions. His cerebellar modeling work (2009) and studies on gravitoinertial context-switching (2017) have helped clarify how multimodal sensory information guides dynamic motor adaptation. Papaxanthis has also ventured into clinical neuroscience, with notable work revealing proprioceptive impairments in developmental dyslexia (2021, 18 citations), challenging prevailing cognitive theories about sensory comorbidities. More recently, he has explored the neural underpinnings of human-robot interaction and motor learning through EEG-based neurophysiological approaches. With research spanning robotics, space medicine, developmental disorders, and brain-body dynamics, his career reflects a broad and integrative vision of how humans move through — and adapt to — a gravity-shaped world.
