The Center for Brain Research at present hosts six divisions, which individually address the structure, function, and diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems throughout the lifespan.
Our frontline research areas include:
- Molecular mechanisms of cellular diversification and intercellular communication (Division of Molecular Neurosciences),
- Synaptic mechanisms of learning and memory (Division of Neuronal Cell Biology),
- immune surveillance of the nervous system (Division of Neuroimmunology),
- spinal mechanisms of acute and chronic pain (Division of Neurophysiology),
- the neuronal basis of cognitive processes (Division of Cognitive Neurobiology), and
- peroxisome-dependent malfunction of the nervous system (Division of Pathobiology of the Nervous System).
