In-depth study of new methodologies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of neuropediatric pathologies of developmental age, with particular regard to neuromuscular diseases, neurodegenerative, neuro-metabolic and in general genetic-metabolic pathologies, and epilepsies of pediatric origin genetic and/or of possible neurosurgical interest, to defects of the neural tube and cortical migration and to neurofibromatosis.
