“It is fitting that Dr. Ilary Allodi, who enjoys writing short stories in her free time, began her foray into neuroscience with a book. As a teenager, Ilary read Searching for Memory by Daniel Schacter, which details the psychological mechanisms of memory, drawing substantially from the lessons of unique clinical cases. This book piqued her curiosity about the brain and in particular, the changes that occur during disease. Ilary continues to be motivated and inspired by the clinical cases and human experiences that underlie many of the research questions in neuroscience. Now, as a principal investigator at the University of Copenhagen and a lecturer at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, Ilary studies motor neuron degeneration in the context of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).”
