About

This center supports cutting-edge research into the neural basis of cognition and how it is altered in psychiatric disorders. Using tools like fMRI, EEG, and behavioral testing, scientists investigate brain circuits involved in memory, attention, emotion regulation, and decision-making. The center emphasizes translational research to develop biomarkers and improve interventions for conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. It also hosts major collaborative initiatives and supports early-career researchers. The center is funded in part by the Staglin family and the International Mental Health Research Organization (IMHRO).
