Ileana Mangili

 Ileana MANGILI, on 6 July 2022   

 - I. MANGILI wrote and discussed a Thesis on anomalous memories. About the paper, she prepared the Introduction and the Abstract as well as contributed to Discussion and helped to respond on referees' comments, after submitting at various journals.

Daniela ORLANDO

 Roberta D'Angiò

Up to Down : Daniela ORLANDO & Roberta D'ANGIO' on 8 march 2022  

  - D. ORLANDO wrote and discussed a Thesis on life-experiences od ADHD women; about the paper, she helped with data handling, pre- and post- processing, until preparation of figure(s). 

 - R. D'ANGIO' wrote and discussed a Thesis on GAMBLING\OCD and akrasia; about the paper, she was crucial on-the-field in managing the Pedigree Tables for a correct breeding strategy !

 

  Sara ALBANESE; Anna Sara LIBERATI (UTIU, February 2021)  

 Anna Sara

 Sara ALBANESE

 Up to Down: Anna Sara LIBERATI & Sara ALBANESE on 9 February 2021

A.S. LIBERATI wrote and discussed a Thesis on criminal Psychopathies and violent aggressivity; about the paper, she was crucial in preparing the taxonomy and genealogy trees for DAT hetero-zygous rats, issuing from all possible combinations of genotypes for their parents. The construct that PAT males bred with MAT females yield GIX pups and PAT females bred with MAT males yield DIX pups, was solely constructed thanks to her own contribution.    

 - S. ALBANESE wrote and discussed a Thesis on Autism and its environment; about the paper, she was crucial in the original and empirical observations about maternal behavior, on MAT females caring for GIX pups and on PAT females caring for DIX pups, allowing the discovery that not all heterozygous are equal one to another!!! 




Disordered gambling is a major societal problem with high costs to the subjects involved. Animal models may help in understanding and preventing gambling-related problems. Data show that some (lab) animals may have gambling-like profiles, yet we need few additional steps towards models of disordered gambling. Read all

News on Auto-Antibodies and Neurodevelopment

LATEST SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES, about AUTO-ANTIBODIES in NEURO-DEVELOPMENTAL SYNDROMES:


Animal research is brave, not cruel, science! Sign! 


We demonstrated as published in 2014 that it is possible to measure levels of anti-DAT auto-antibodies (DAT-aAbs) in the serum of ADHD children. We are trying to extend this finding to other developmental, neuropsychiatric conditions.

Read the interview on autoimmune regulators of compulsivity, by Prof. G. LAVIOLA released to ECNP.



The concept that an antibody may mediate a CNS disorder is relatively recent. In recent years, the role of an altered immune system in the etiology of major psychiatric disorders has become more apparent. EMMA is committed to divulge and to highlight discoveries on the role of auto-immunity in neuro-development.

A special regard is devoted to ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Tourette Syndrome. Some examples follow by clicking on "read more":
