Research Interest

The group develops numerous research projects in the field of neuro-degenerative diseases (MRIs) and molecular (PET) neurodegenerative diseases in the field of functional neuroimaging (fMRI) for the study of cognitive functions in the norm and their modifications associated with neurological diseases . The unit is part of many multicentre projects and European Network of Excellence
