Parkinson’s disease and addiction have tremendous human and economical costs for our society. Project Overview Parkinson’s disease and addiction have tremendous human and economical costs for our society. The secret to understand these pathologies lies in unravelling the functioning of a specific...

Understanding how the brain works when we make decisions during social interactions has been difficult for neuroscientists. Project Overview Understanding how the brain works when we make decisions during social interactions has been difficult for neuroscientists. This is because our brains process...

The brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs in the body, yet it has no energy reserves. To function properly, it relies on a finely tuned process that increases local blood flow whenever neurons become active: a process known as neurovascular coupling (NVC). This link between brain activity...

Pain doesn’t feel the same at every hour of the day. Many people notice their pain is worse at night or first thing in the morning, but we don’t yet understand why.

Regular cannabis use is indisputably linked to schizophrenia. Project Overview Regular cannabis use is indisputably linked to schizophrenia. However, the causal nature and direction of this link is contentious and the biological mechanisms underpinning their relationship are poorly understood....

One of the most important advances in our understanding of chronic pain over the last decade or so is the realization that neurons are not the only cells in the central nervous system participating in the processing of pain signals. Project Overview One of the most important advances in our...
