Mission statement
The FC programme in Neuroscience aims to unravel the neural basis of behaviour. In the past few decades an enormous effort has been directed towards the development of neurosciences worldwide. Nonetheless, little progress has been achieved in the understanding of both normal and pathologic behaviour. We are convinced that there are now sufficient conceptual and technological tools to make important breakthroughs in the understanding of the neural basis of behaviour. Thus, we believe that investing in basic research in this field will significantly impact on our understanding of brain function, which will in turn contribute to the understanding and possible treatment of brain dysfunction.
