Neuroscience
The Science Hub Neuroscience is an essential component of cutting-edge research at the Ruhr-Universität in the Key Research Area Mind, Cognition & Health.
How are sensory impressions processed in the brain? Do we learn less well under stress? What happens in the brain as we age? How do children learn? What changes in the brain as a result of illness? How do socio-cultural developments change our brain and how does this affect our health and well-being? How can new findings from neuroscientific research help in the treatment of pain? These and many other questions are being addressed by the members of the Neuroscience Science Hub, which brings together interdisciplinary and wide-ranging neuroscientific research at Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
Researchers from biology and biotechnology, chemistry and biochemistry, medicine, psychology, computer science and neuroinformatics work together on neuroscientific issues on campus and in the affiliated clinics. The Science Hub offers an integrative research platform that encompasses the molecular, cellular, systemic, cognitive and clinical neurosciences through to neuroinformatics, and has thus established a multidisciplinary strategy for researching brain functions. Research focuses on sensory systems, learning and memory, brain pathology and applied neuroscience.
