About
Neža Vehar is a neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, clinical neurology, and the phenomenology of perception. Her primary focus is on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease (PD), with a particular emphasis on minor hallucinations—specifically, the experience of a presence that is not there. In her most cited work, Vehar demonstrates how the progression of Parkinson’s disease and fronto-temporal disconnection are linked to the identity of these minor hallucinations, offering a novel framework for understanding early psychotic symptoms in PD. This study, published in 2025, has already garnered early citations, underscoring its timely impact. By showing that presence hallucinations are not merely perceptual errors but are tied to specific patterns of brain network degeneration, Vehar’s work bridges the gap between subjective experience and objective neurobiology. Her contributions are pivotal for early detection and intervention in PD psychosis, and her research continues to shape how clinicians and scientists conceptualize the spectrum of hallucinatory phenomena in neurodegenerative disease.
