We aim at understanding brain mechanisms of sensory processing, memory formation, navigation and communication and what can go wrong in these processes, or during development or degeneration of the underlying brain structures.

• Developing Therapeutic Strategies: Identifying key players for treatments and interventions for neurological and psychiatric disorders.
• Enhancing Cognitive and Motor Functions: Finding ways to boost learning, memory, and recovery from brain injuries.
• Understanding the brain on a cellular and molecular level: dissecting the contributions of individual cells, synapses, and molecules in order to understand brain function.
• Understanding Brain Plasticity: Exploring how the brain wires and adapts to changes, which can inform rehabilitation techniques.
• Unraveling the Basis of Behavioral Disorders: Investigating the neural and genetic foundations of disorders like autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia.
• Understand the developmental rules governing neural circuit assembly: towards models for algorithmic brain assembly and artificial intelligence.
• Studying the Effects of Environmental Factors: Examining how sleep, diet, and lifestyle impact brain function and behavior in young and aged individuals.
