UBneuro is a university research institute with more than 550 interdisciplinary researchers from 4 Faculties who work in collaboration with 3 University Hospitals (Hospital Clínic, Sant Joan de Deu I Bellvitge). The work at UBneuro takes on form in specific lines of study that cover all current areas of neuroscientific research, at the molecular level up to cognition and behaviour. The centre’s research activity is complemented by the training of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral students, as well as the transfer to society of the knowledge
The study of the pathophysiology of nervous system diseases represents a critical challenge in biomedicine, essential for advancing the development of effective and innovative therapies.
Neurodegenerative diseases are usually linked with aging. thus, nowadays there is an important increase in these disorders with a strong social and economical impact in our society
Psychotic and affective disorders are among the most disabling mental disorders in the world.
Research in this area focuses on the cerebral circuits, networks, processes and computational mechanisms that underpin a plethora of functions, such as perception, attention, memory, language, decision making, emotion and the control of action, to name a few.
