Speaker: Giacomo Rizzolatti
Emeritus Professor, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Parma

Giacomo Rizzolatti graduated in Medicine in Padua. Subsequently he worked at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Pisa and at the University of Pennsylvania. From 1969 he is at the University of Parma, where, in 1975 he became Professor of Human Physiology. At present he is Professor Emeritus at the University of Parma.

He has been President of the Italian Society of Neurosciences and of the European Brain Behavior Society.
