Brain Sciences: From Molecules to Mind

Research Themes

Research across the subject of Neuroscience & Psychology attempts to advance our understanding of behaviour and the underlying mental processes and brain functions at multiple levels of analysis. This effort entails the integration of diverse approaches and paradigms from experimental psychology, cognitive science and the cognitive neurosciences. We are committed to producing basic and applied research of the highest quality with a focus on these main research themes:

These themes are represented across five research centres:
• Centre for Translational Research in Neuroscience and Clinical Psychology
• Centre for Stroke and Brain Imaging Research
• Centre for Molecular Pharmacology
• Centre for Interdisciplinary Study of Social Interactions
• Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi)

We use a large range of tools to study these research themes:
