The purpose of this keynote speech is to share the story of the research work dedicated to TA conducted by the Italian team of the LaRSI (Research Laboratory on Self and Identity), of which the presenter is a member.

Research projects ideas and results will be intertwined with the team life and the professional encounters over a period of about three decades, from the ’90s to July 2020, when the ITAA Research Award was assigned to the group. New research directions in clinical field are presented, also linked to the Memory Reconsolidation studies.
