We speak of the devastating effects of drugs and alcohol on the brain, especially adolescents, with unpublished data and disturbing. A study conducted in 2008 among young people aged from 12 to 18 years, about half have already tried cannabis and 10% get drunk often without considering that, in Italy, the first contact with alcohol is around 11.

Professor Mair is also the President and Founder of Athena Onlus (Association of Neurosurgical Research for Advanced Therapies) which, among other activities also seeks to deepen, in a scientific manner, the mechanisms through which alcohol and drugs alter the brain functioning causing irreversible damage and even causing abnormal behavior that is dangerous.
