The number of organisations in the Mnesys network, led by the University of Genoa and the San Martino Hospital, has risen from 25 to 90: it is the largest in Europe. Also among the protagonists of the new frontiers of brain research is the Istituto G. Gaslini. The Genoa-based IRCCS is studying new strategies to prevent the development of brain damage in premature infants by including soya, olive oil and fish fat in the diet.
