We aim to comprehend the central nervous system across various functional scales, from cellular processes to cognitive functions and social behaviors. Our methodologies span molecular, cellular, and experimental systems, along with brain imaging of human cognition and behavioral studies at the societal level.
Unraveling both healthy central nervous system operations and its alterations due to disease or trauma remains one of the most significant challenges for biological and medical research this century. Recent years have witnessed unprecedented focus on brain function research, marked by initiatives like the Human Brain Project and the Brain Initiative. Simultaneously, the substantial societal impact of neurological and psychiatric conditions, coupled with limited treatment options, underscores the critical need for innovative solutions.
Our researchers and students benefit from access to top-tier imaging technology and advanced computing resources. These create powerful connections across INP's various research hubs, featuring modern human cognitive imaging platforms, high-resolution animal scanners, specialized microscopy equipment, and innovative tools for analyzing dynamic social interactions.
