Our research focuses on the role of glia and progenitor cells in brain plasticity and repair , and on the implementation of cell replacement approaches and/or training proto...

We study neural plasticity, namely the ability of the nervous system to adapt and reorganize in response to experiences, external stimuli, damage, or internal changes. Plastic...

The development of the central nervous system requires careful processes of cell division and differentiation. An alteration of these events can severely reduce the number of ...

Our group studies the development and the normal and pathological aging of the nervous system at different scales (molecular, cellular, and neural network levels). With regard...

Pathophysiology of genetic human spino-cerebellar ataxias    Main goal The experiments of our laboratory are aimed at discovering the mechanisms responsible for some rare h...

Our group is engaged in studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms related to aging that cause Alzheimer’s disease, to contribute to the development of new therapies. Pr...

Our research group works closely to the Regional Reference Center for Multiple Sclerosis (CRESM) aiming at improving the diagnosis, predicting the prognosis, personalizing t...

The central focus of our researches is the study of the interactions among steroids and nervous circuits. Our previous studies have clarified the role of early exposure to gon...

Our research focus is the study of preclinical models of neurodevelopmental syndromes characterized by epilepsy and/or cognitive and behavioral deficits, which are currently w...

Identify effective new strategies for improving post-traumatic peripheral nerve regeneration as well as investigate the adaptive changes occurring to the sensory and autonomic...
