Astorga has a PhD in Neuroscience. Her research at the laboratory of Neurobiology, at The Rockefeller University explores the role of Top-down cognitive influences on neurons’ function and on perceptual learning in the brain cortex. This work was published in the scientific journal PNAS. In addition to the work published by Charles Gilbert, MD, the director of the laboratory, exploring the brain mechanisms of top-down and perceptual learning in more than 50 scientific articles, her work sets the basis for developing the learning tools of Top-Down Therapeutics. She is the author of more than 10 scientific publications in prestigious journals studying the cellular and circuit properties of neurons.
