My research falls within the macro-domain of clinical neuroscience with a focus on neurodegenerative pathologies associated with dementia. In this field, my interests are more specifically framed in the study of the clinical and neuropsychological profiles of different neurodegenerative diseases, and the association with the underlying structural and functional neurodegeneration in order to characterize these diseases and their evolution, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the implementation of effective prevention and rehabilitative strategies.
