A satellite meeting of the Schizophrenia International Research Society. 14-15 April 2012, Florence, Italy Areas of Research The clinical neuroscience research unit focuses mainly on the neurobiological basics of psychiatric disorders through the investigation of genetic polymorphisms and functional and structural brain abnormalities underlying psychiatric symptoms. The main areas of investigation are: - neuroimaging of psychiatric disorders with particular interest in bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder. Thanks to the recent functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging techniques, it investigates structural and functional connectivity as well as the functioning and volume of brain areas involved in psychiatric disorders. - Chronobiology of mood disorders - Neurocognitive Rehabilitation of Schizophrenia
