Marcella Bellani  (MD, PhD) is associate professor at Verona University, Department of Neuroscience, Biomedicine and Movement, Section of Psychiatry.

Chair of Neuroimaging Section of EPA (European Psychiatric Association

Chair of the Brain Imaging and Neuropsychology Research Unit at UNIVR. 

Mission of the Research Unit: Multimodal neuroimaging techniques are applied to explore the location, amplitude, and timing of morpho-functional brain changes in adults with psychiatric disorders, to detect biomarkers of pathology that may support early diagnosis and more focused interventions.  Specifically, starting with a biopsychosocial view of mental health, over the years it has been developed a translational approach combining multimodal MRI (sMRI, fMRI, spectroscopy, resting state), innovative neuropsychological assessments, and rehabilitation strategies, with the final aim of improving prediction, early diagnosis, treatment and wellbeing of people with mental disorder. This effort has resulted in hundreds of publications and international scientific collaborations.

Main scientific fields of investigation:

-Biological correlates of psychiatric diseases: MRI applications in Psychiatry.

-Pathophysiology and neuroplasticity of psychiatric disorders.

-Neurocognitive and immunological profiles of psychiatric illnesses.

-Cognitive rehabilitation strategies and neuromodulation.

-Prediction and machine learning approaches

-Digital psychiatry

RESEARCH UNIT ON BRAIN IMAGING AND NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
The main focus of the research Unit is to achieve a better understanding of neurobiological underpinnings of major psychiatric disorders (bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, unipolar depression and autism) and to study the possible connection with outcome, neuropsychological and biological measures. The aim of our research group is to increase the knowledge of possible neural circuitry in these disorders and to study the timing and development of the neuroanatomical alterations, in order to achieve a better knowledge for an early detection and treatment of these disorders.
