Overview

The Neuroscience area is consolidating its position as one of the largest clusters of research labs working on neurological diseases across Europe. Thirteen groups are currently part of this area, working closely with top clinicians at the hospital. The area encompasses different aspects related to neuroscience, such as neural development, neurodegeneration, neuroimmunology, neurological pain, mental health, neurosurgery or pediatric neurology.

There are groups also focused on cell signaling and apoptosis and translational bioinformatics.

Research Areas

Our group has started Migraine Adaptive Brain Program.

Migraine is complex hereditary brain disorder, which helps us understand how the brain communicates and adapts to change through the sensory processing of internal and external stimuli. Our mission is to study brain function by analyzing how neural networks adapt, respond and communicate with cognitive circuits and the environment through sensory networks, and to transfer this knowledge to diagnose, treat and prevent brain disorders, such as migraine. We also aim to develop evidence-based approaches to enhance individual abilities and non-cognitive skills, and improve brain sense technological devices, with the ultimate goal of promoting self- knowledge and globally increasing the quality of life. Once these functions are better understood we will improve individual abilities and develop therapeutic solutions.

This year we have been acknowledged as an AGAUR research group.
