Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology

From cells to society

Investigating the functional links among neurons, networks and social signals

Banner of research in the INP

 

Challenges

We strive to understand the brain at multiple levels of function, from cells to cognition. Our approaches range from molecular, cellular and systems level investigations to the brain imaging of human behaviour and cognition.

Strengths

We specialize in investigating cell signalling, stem cells, brain imaging and formal modelling, with focus on the dynamics of information processing in cortical networks.
