My research activity mainly focuses on the pathophysiology of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. For this purpose, I apply advanced non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques designed to assess mechanisms of long-term synaptic plasticity in the primary motor cortex in humans. My current clinical activity is mainly focused on early diagnosis and treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, by means of advanced wireless and wearable technology (sensors and inertial measurement units - IMUs). My clinical activity includes also advanced treatments such as EMG-guided Botulinum Toxin injections in patients with dysphonia, dystonia, spasticity and other disorders.
