Ricerc@Sapienza

I am currently Head of the Neurodegenerative Unit at the Department of Human Neurosciences at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. My research activity mainly focuses on the pathophysiologic investigation of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. For this purpose, I apply advanced non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques designed to assess mechanisms of long-term synaptic plasticity in the primary motor cortex in humans. I also use wearable technology (sensors and inertial measurement units - IMUs) and artificial intelligence to recognize and analyse specific signs and symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
