About the programme
Are you interested in understanding how behavior, sensory performance, and consciousness emerge from the neural activity of the brain across scales, from cells to circuits? Or how do the complex regulatory networks of organisms work? These topics are essential for understanding both the neural basis and health of living organisms as well as the mechanistic origin of various pathological states.
