Cognitive and Molecular Neurosciences
Mission
The Cognitive and Molecular Neurosciences (CMN) programme includes neuroscience research at all levels of integration, molecular, neuronal and systemic, in health and disease, in humans and animals, in biological and artificial systems. The programme offers a wide range of research topics including higher order visual and auditory processing, executive and motor control, live synaptic transmission, degenerative diseases, stroke, eating disorders, language and cochlear implants studied in humans and a range of animal models: non-human primates, rodents, zebrafish, fruit flies and cell cultures.
The programme will provide training in a large spectrum of techniques: single and multiple cell recordings; inactivation and microstimulation causal methods of brain function; functional imaging in humans, non-human primates and small animals; calcium imaging; transgenic animals and computational studies.
