Who We AreThere are a number of groups working on the neural, neurochemical and neuropsychological basis of cognitive and emotional behaviour in humans and other species, including studies of stress, anxiety, depression, and language.
This includes the neuropsychological examination, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The neural systems involved in behavioural dysfunctions, drug seeking, the reward system and reinforcement are also an important focus of research, as are the mechanisms of decision making. These areas, together with studies into the neural basis of learning, memory and perception, are the subject of techniques ranging from neuroimaging to computational modelling. |
