Biography

Dr. Mauri earned his medical degree (1985) at the University of Pavia School of Medicine and became a neurology specialist after 4 years at the Department of Neuroscience in Pavia.

Stage in Clinical Neuropsychology (memory disorders in Alzheimer’s disease) at University Roma Tor Vergata, october-december 1993 (Prof. C. Caltagirone, Dr. G.A. Carlesimo).

Then he has achieved a Ph.D. in Human Psychobiology at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Study of Modena.
From the early ‘90s he made most of his scientific work at the IRCCS Neurological Foundation, of Pavia (Prof. G. Nappi).

His research career has focused in the study of clinical neuropsychology, cerebrovascular disease, dementias and aging disorders, symptomatic headaches, cognitive disorders in infectious and endocrine diseases.

In these fields he has participated to research projects at national level and has also been involved in multicenter controlled therapeutic trials (national and international).

From May 2002 he continued his scientific and teaching work at the University of Insubria as Assistant Professor and Research Associate in Neurology (Prof. G. Bono).

Editorial boards: Confinia Cephalalgica (2002)
He is responsible of Laboratory of Clinical Neuropsychology and participated to the second level diagnostic activities for Alzheimer’s Disease and cognitive dysfunction, also being involved in the Local Committee for Neuroscience.
