as experience on neuropsychological assessment. The contract will have a one-year duration and the specific tasks will include MRI and Neuropsychological data analyses, interpretation of results, manuscript drafting, and results diffusion. The researcher will

collaborate to predoctoral students co-supervision. The tasks will be developed in collaboration with the PI and other members of
