Our Research
Our world-class research aims to make connections between the mind and nervous system. Discovering how the central nervous system functions normally and how it is affected by disease and injury present major challenges for biological and medical research in the 21st century. The increase of neurological and psychiatric disorders on society and the current lack of effective treatments means there is an urgent need to develop new approaches.
