Research
Reseach overview
The aim of the Division of Brain Sciences is a multi-layered (gene, cell, circuit) understanding of brain functions. We regard the brain as the sum of its parts—neuron, glia, and vasculature—and explores the unseen interaction between the brain and peripheral organs that engages in higher brain functions such as emotion and motivation. These efforts will lead to the development of novel treatments for mental illness.
