About this programme
Overview Discovering how the central nervous system functions normally and how it is affected by disease and injury present major challenges for biological and medical research in the 21 st century. Over the last two decades there has been an explosion of interest in understanding the normal function of the brain illustrated by launching of the Human Brain Project and the Brain Initiative. In parallel the huge burden of neurological and psychiatric disorders on society and the current lack of effective treatments means there is an urgent need to develop new approaches. Four centres of excellence Neuroscience Stroke and Brain Imaging Cognitive Neuroimaging Social Interaction Via their interactions, our centres aim to understand brain networks at multiple levels of function, from cells to cognition with a strong emphasis on imaging and computational analyses of each level.
