Training and research activities
As part of his training and research activities, Dr. Mauri has focused on central nervous system disorders, with particular reference to disorders and conditions that manifest themselves as dysfunction/damage to cognitive systems, using clinical neuropsychology as a reference point for the identification and study of various disorders: primary degenerative dementias; encephalopathies of toxic-infectious,  disimmune, traumatic, and vascular origin. The implementation of clinical neuropsychology methods in the study of neurological patients has been extended, on the application side, to early diagnosis, follow-up, and the study of specific integrated skills,  with implications  both for the multiparametric assessment of specific skills (complex motor tasks)   and  for the evaluation of response to treatment (multicenter trials), and  in the context of rehabilitation programs,  in a wide range of qualified collaborations (IRCCS, ISS).
