Basic and Computational Neuroscience

This area investigates the human and animal nervous system using neuroanatomy, molecular biology, electrophysiology, behavioral studies, and brain imaging. It integrates experimental data with computational models. Research includes the use of stem cells and organoids to explore physiological and pathological brain mechanisms as well as computational models validation.

Clinical Neuroscience

This area focuses on neurological and psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. It explores genetic and epigenetic risk factors using targeted and omics approaches. Techniques include electrophysiology, eye-tracking, and brain imaging. Therapeutic interventions are studied to assess their effectiveness and safety, including non-invasive brain stimulation and psychosocial rehabilitation.

Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology

Studies human cognitive functions and their neural basis. Methods include behavioral testing, psychophysiology, and neuroimaging. Topics include language, attention, executive functions, emotion, empathy, and social cognition. Research involves both healthy subjects and patients with neurological conditions.
