We aim to understand the brain systems that support cognitive processes and how changes in these systems contribute to mental disorders.
Great science thrives in a supportive environment. For us, this means not only having access to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, but also fostering a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and mutual respect.
