BEHAVIORAL NEUROLOGY RESEARCH UNIT

Behavioral Neurology Research Unit investigates brain circuits and dynamics behind cognition, emotion and behaviour and how these functions are altered in brain damage or disorder. We apply theories and methods from the fields of cognitive and affective neuroscience, experimental psychology and neurology. The general aim of the behavioural neurology research group is to provide more comprehensive knowledge on 1) brain circuits behind emotional and behavioral control functions, 2) how these functions are disrupted in neurological, neurosurgical or psychiatric damage or disorder and 3) how neuromodulation and other treatments that interact with brain circuits known to be important for cognitive, emotional and behavioral control affect functions these functions 4) Furthermore we aim to advance technological developments for better diagnostic tools and detect novel biomarkers for cognitive, affective and behavioral impairment. The long-term goal is to provide strong scientific background..
