Organisations
Brain, Body and Cognition Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The BBCO research group focuses its research on the comprehensive study of mental processes and their biological (brain and body) correlates in different domains of human functioning and behavior, such as cognition, social judgment, affect, well-being and sleep. Without doubt, the study of the brain and body, and its related mental processes is at the forefront of current research in many disciplines of psychology. Together with behavioral ...
Laboratory for Neurobiology (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Neurobiology focuses on the mechanisms of acute and chronic axonal and neuronal degeneration and regeneration, aiming to contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. We intensively study motor neuron diseases (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary motor neuropathies), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and stroke.
Research Group for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy KU Leuven
The laboratory for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy is committed to gain insight in the underlying pathology of Parkinson's Disease (PD) and more recently Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), on both the molecular and cellular level. We are specifically focussing on the proteins α-synuclein and LRRK2, two key players in sporadic and familial PD.  The underlying idea is that better disease models and insights in the molecular pathogenesis are required ...
Research Group Molecular Neurobiology (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
Major research questions focus on cell type vulnerability and single-cell heterogeneity, protein aggregation and proteopathic stress, synaptic function, as well as microglial activation and neuroimmunology.
Laboratory of Stem Cell and Developmental Neurobiology (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
We want to force a breakthrough in the cure of neuronal and neurodegenerative disorders. This requires a deep understanding of normal brain function and translation of this knowledge into a solid mechanistic understanding of disease mechanisms.
Laboratory of Structural Neurobiology KU Leuven
The Laboratory of Structural Neurobiology is interested in understanding the structural basis of ion channel function. Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that act as molecular switches of electrochemical signaling in the central nervous system. Our specific goal is to understand the structural determinants of ligand recognition, the mechanism of channel gating and ion selection and permeation. Our methodological approach is based on ...
Molecular, Cellular and Network Excitability (MCNE) University of Antwerp
Neuropsychiatry KU Leuven
The Center for Neuropsychiatry comprises 2 groups
- Laboratory for Translational Neuropsychiatry, investigating the neurobiology of late onset psychiatric disorders and social cognitive deficits caused by neurodegeneration;
- Academic Center for ECT and Neuromodulation (AcCENT), focusing on brain stimulation techniques in psychiatric disorders.
Their joint aim is to define imaging biomarkers of neuropsychiatric ...
Research Group Psychiatry KU Leuven
Research group Psychiatry with six aspects of research: Contextual Psychiatry, Developmental Psychiatry, Public Health Psychiatry, Neuropsychiatry, Clinical Psychiatry and Mind-body Research.
