Characterization of Neurocognitive Profiles in Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Epilepsy: a Transdiagnostic Approach

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Computer based task with EEG: Participants will undergo EEG recording while performing a computer based neuropsychological task evaluating cognitive control

Study summary

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are early-onset conditions affecting personal, social, and academic functioning, with high comorbidity rates and shared neurobiological traits. Traditional diagnostic categories struggle to explain symptom overlap, supporting a transdiagnostic approach that views NDDs as dimensions rather than distinct entities.

This project aims to identify common neuropsychological and neurophysiological profiles in ADHD, autism, intellectual disability, and learning disorders using high-density EEG and cognitive tasks assessing cognitive control. By integrating neuropsychological assessments, EEG responses, and behavioral data, the study seeks to identify shared functional profiles rather than disorder-specific biomarkers.

Additionally, it will analyze the relationship between NDDs and epilepsy to validate behavioral and neurophysiological markers. Conducted in collaboration with the University of Padua, the study employs advanced data analysis to enhance personalized interventions.
