About

Mariacristina Siotto is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on post-stroke recovery and cognitive rehabilitation. Her work bridges the gap between neurobiology and digital health technologies, exploring how biological markers and innovative tools can enhance patient outcomes. Siotto’s most cited study, “Serotonin Levels and Cognitive Recovery in Patients with Subacute Stroke after Rehabilitation Treatment” (2021, 13 citations), demonstrates her pioneering investigation into the role of serotonin in modulating mood, cognition, and learning post-stroke, highlighting its potential as a target for rehabilitation strategies. She is also at the forefront of evaluating Robots and Allied Digital Technologies (RADTs), as seen in her protocol for the STROKEFIT4 trial (2025, 7 citations), which aims to assess the effectiveness, usability, and sustainability of these technologies from subacute to chronic phases. Additionally, her work on non-immersive virtual reality for cognitive rehabilitation in severe acquired brain injury (2025, 2 citations) underscores her commitment to accessible, restorative approaches. With a growing citation impact, Siotto’s research is shaping evidence-based neurorehabilitation, offering new pathways for integrating technology and biology to improve cognitive recovery.
