Summary of key aims
Since 1995, some specific research programs ("Ricerca Corrente" and "Ricerca Finalizzata") have been dedicated to the study of the immune-endocrine system in brain ageing, and specifically to vulnerability markers and therapeutic targets.
The main topic of the "Ricerca Finalizzata" research program has been the role of stress and its interactions with the immune and reproductive systems during neuronal damage process in experimental in vivo/ex vivo models. The other research program - "Ricerca Corrente" - has been focused on the biological (such as apolipoprotein-E4, MTHFR estrogen receptor, and aromatase genes, interleukin 1 and TNF polymorphisms) and psychological markers of Alzheimer's Disease.
All the research programs have been developed and implemented by the Unit of Neurology for Brain Ageing (clinical study), the Unit of Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiopathology (EEG and sleep study), the Laboratory of Cytogenetics (genetic study), the Laboratory of Neuropharmacology (in vivo, ex vivo, in vitro models of neuronal damage). Research projects have been funded by the Italian Ministry of Health.
