Reference excerpt

Pasquale Calabrese born 27 February 1961 in Naples, Italy, is an Italian professor of clinical neurosciences at the University of Basel, Faculty of Psychology, Department of Molecular and Cognitive Neurosciences. He is a neuroscientist, experimental neurologist and medical neuropsychologist.

Biography Calabrese received his academic formation in psychology, medicine, biology and philosophy at the University of Konstanz, University of Zurich, Ruhr University Bochum and at Bielefeld University from 1983 to 1989. He received a diploma in psychology at the University of Konstanz in 1991. He received his PhD in his major clinical neuropsychology and in his minor clinical neurology in 1997. In 1999 he was appointed guest professor in neurosciences at the International Institute of Genetics and Biophysics (IIGB) of the Italian Research Association. In 2004 Calabrese received his habilitation from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bochum and received the Venia legendi in Experimental Neurology and Medical Neuropsychology. From 1991 to 2008 he was Head of the Department of Neuropsychology and Behavioral Neurology and Director of the Memory Clinic at the University Hospital Bochum-Langendreer (Germany). From 2010 he worked in the same position at the Neurocenter Southern Switzerland, Lugano (Switzerland). Since 2011 he is titular-professor of clinical neuroscience at the University of Basel, where he also heads the Neuropsychology and Behavioral Neurology Unit at the Department of Molecular and Cognitive Neuroscience and Head of Neuropsychology at the University Hospital's MS Center. He also serves as a clinical neuropsychological expert for the Swiss Insurance Medicine and consulting clinical neuropsychologist at the department of Neurosurgery of the University of Basel where he is a member of the awake-craniotomy team.

Clinical-scientific contribution Calabrese's clinical research focus is in the field of diagnosis of neuropsychological and behavioral disturbances in neuropsychiatric patients, with a focus on Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. He is involved in the conceptualization of clinical trails in the field of behavioral neurology and psychiatry. In his single-case studies and essays he pursues an idiographic-constructivist-neuro-evolutive approach. During his training and affiliation in the lab of Hans Markowitsch, he was mainly involved in some fundamental clinical studies to investigate the functional neuroanatomical and neuropsychological correlates of retrograde amnesia after brain damage. In addition, his clinical research area relates to the study of neuropsychiatric dysfunctions and quality of life in multiple sclerosis and other neuropsychiatric disorders Stress-related dysfunctions and also in patients with Parkinson's disease. Calabrese is co-developer of neuropsychological screening procedures and neuropsychometric test batteries that have found manyfold applications in clinical practice. His neuropsychometric oeuvre includes the development of clinical screening tools, such as the DemTect for the investigation of patients with dementia, MUSIC, a screening test for the detection of cognitive deficits in multiple sclerosis and the PANDA, a cognitive test for the detection of cognitive disorders in Parkinson's disease. He is also co-author of the German-language translation and validation of the revised Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-R) for the detection of memory disorders in brain-damaged subjects. The neurobehavioral monitoring of patients with brain tumors during awake craniotomy and the expert assessment and assessment of damage-related behavioral changes are also part of his clinical specialty.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pasquale Calabrese

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pasquale Calabrese claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Pasquale Calabrese before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Pasquale Calabrese ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Pasquale Calabrese

In research: Pasquale Calabrese appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Pasquale Calabrese in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Pasquale Calabrese is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1961 births, Academic staff of the University of Basel, Alzheimer's disease researchers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pasquale Calabrese outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
