Neuroscience and Brain Development

Investigate how the mind and brain works that manifest in the person behaviour, focusing on neuroplasticity and brain Immunochemistry Cellular Mechanism. The research areas are cognitive neuroscience, electro-encephalography, functional brain imaging, cellular mechanism of neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine and neuro-psychiatry. The cluster also developes Brain Bank to support research activities on neurodegenerative diseases of which its pathogenesis remains unclear, such as Alzheimer Disease, Autism, Addiction, Depression.
