Highlights
Early detection of Alzheimer Disease. In the last year we have consolidated 15 years of work on the analysis the brain functional networks by proposing a biomarker for cognitive decline in the early stages of dementia: to pre- dict who of the MCI (mild cognitive impairment) patients will develop dementia. Along 2015 we were running an international multicenter study to transfer our finding to the market: 1) cloud service for secondary diagnosis; 2) objective test of pharmacological or non-pharmacolog- ical interventions.
