Research Themes

The Department of Neuroscience conducts research on a broad spectre of neuroscience. The six main research themes are listed below. When selecting a theme, you will be shown a list of the labs working on the specific theme.

  • Molecular and Cellular Functions of Glia and Neurons

    Studies of the molecular and cellular mechanisms in neurons and glia that lead to brain function.
  • Motor Control and Neuronal Circuits

    Studies of how the brain and spinal cord initiate, plan, execute and optimize movements, and how the brain process sensory information.
  • Neurotransmitter Receptors and Transporters

    Studies of the signaling in the brain mediated by neurotransmitter receptors, and the function of neurotransmitter transporters.
  • Cerebral Fluid and Blood Flow

    Studies of the control of cerebral blood flow, the blood-brain barrier, and how the water and ion homeostasis is maintained in the brain.
  • Autonomic Systems and Circadian Rhythm

    Studies of the autonomic nervous system, and the circadian rhythm generating centers in the brain.
  • Neurological, Psychiatric Disease and Trauma to the Nervous System

    Studies of pathogenic mechanisms, and new treatment options for CNS disorders.
  • Neural Development and Stem Cells

    Studies of early brain development using rodents, flies and human stem cells models for understanding how different subtypes of cells in the central nervous system are formed.
