Dr. Marco Luigi Ciceri received clinical and practical ward experience at the “National Neurological Istituto Besta”, where he successfully combined working as a supporting intern student and studying for his exams at the Università di Milano. In 2009, he gathered clinical data on adult and paediatric patients with acquired dystonia treated in the previous decade with deep brain stimulation. Finally, in October 2010, he completed a graduation MD thesis based directly on his research. After graduation, he spent a few years in the same department monitoring and following patients who needed neurological diagnosis, pharmacological therapy, or functional surgery. He was involved in neuromodulation research, education, and clinical activities, especially those related to Parkinson's and neurodegenerative disorders. His main research field is the differential diagnosis and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders and the follow-up of patients with autism, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome. In his training, he also learnt how to administer botulinum toxin in dystonic patients, especially in those affected by cervical dystonia and blepharospasm. He then moved to the neurological department of the University Hospital in Verona, where, in the outpatient unit/“day hospital” of neurorehabilitation, he visited people with neurological conditions (neurodegenerative disorders, cognitive disorders, peripherical neuropathies, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, migraine, multiple sclerosis, etc.).
