Faculty of Biology, Veterinary Faculty, Pharmaceutical
Sciences, Medicine, Faculty of Arts, Linguistics, Physics and Social
Sciences, the Rudolf Magnus Institute for Neuroscience, the Helmholtz
Institute and the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS. Due to the borad
spectrum of the research are the programme is divided into two tracks :
in experimental and clinical neuroscience and in cognitive neuroscience.
Short description:
Experimental and Clinical Neuroscience
Research in Experimental and Clinical Neuroscience has
a broad focus, ranging from gene to organism, from man to laboratory
animal, from ethology to cognition, from microscopy to neuro-imaging, in
healthy individuals, but also in patients with psychiatric and neurological
disorders.
Cognitive Neuroscience
Cognitive Neuroscience is engaged in the relation
between the central nervous system and cognitive skills in man. Research
focuses on distringuishing the various subprocesses inv olved in mental
skills such as mo\emory, perception or language, the way these subprocesses
interact and on the nature of the representations in which the relevant
information is encoded. Resarch on the neuro-anatomical substrate for these
processes requires a number of disciplines such as Biology, Physics, Experimental
Psychology, Linguistics, Neurology, Psychiatry and Functional
Neuro-imaging. This programme focuses on normal function and the consequences
of neuropathology for cognition.
