Resting EEG data […]

NutriAlz is a socio-educative and nutritional intervention program to prevent weight loss and loss of function in dementia […]
Clinical stabilisation in neurodegenerative diseases: clinical study in phase II
Introduction: Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS), are progressive pathological conditions in which current treatments have not proved to be effective at curbing their progress (clinical stabilisation). Although they have very different clinical characteristics, they share the same pathophysiological mechanisms of progression. We developed a compound designed […]
