Neurosciences

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.

The Research Group Psychiatry, Mental Health and Addictions Vall d’Hebron Research Institute is a multidisciplinary team that over the past 12 years has focused his scientific activity in research of pathogenetic aspects (focused mainly on genetic determinants), clinical and therapeutic:

Disorders Neuro-psycho-development (emphasis on Disorder Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism, Fetal Alcoholic Syndrome)
Personality Disorders (with special emphasis on borderline personality disorder).
Addictive Behaviors (with special emphasis on Dual Pathology and smoking)
Transcultural Psychiatry
Liaison Psychiatry

This pathologies are characterized by deficits in basic mental functions, high impulsiveness, learning difficulties, behavioral disorders and addictive behaviors, appearing in the infant stage and having a maximum hatching in adolescence, extend into adulthood and old age, conditioning most maturational and adaptive processes that characterize the human being and limiting the possibility to enjoy an autonomous healthy life, cooperative and contemplating the various peculiarities that differences between races, cultures and religions print the pathoplasty of these disorders.
