Neurosciences

Overview

The Neuroscience area is consolidating its position as one of the largest clusters of research labs working on neurological diseases across Europe. At present, the area comprises 14 groups with more than one hundred fully dedicated researchers in close contact with top clinicians in the hospital. These research groups pursue a better and multifaceted understanding of the etiopathogenic mechanisms underlying a large variety of mostly adult but also pediatric neurological disorders including stroke, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, primary headaches, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, and also neurosurgical and psychiatric pathologies. The area also integrates groups involved in neuroimaging, analysis and interpretation of high-throughput data, and gene therapy strategies to target inflammatory and neurodegenerative neurological conditions.

The Psychiatry, Mental Health and Addictions Research Group at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute is a multidisciplinary team that over the past 13 years has focused its scientific activity on the research (both nationally and internationally) of clinical, therapeutic and etiopathogenic aspects of: Neurodevelopmental Disorders
(especially Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome); Personality Disorders (especially Borderline Personality Disorder); Addictive behaviours (especially Dual Pathology and Smoking); Transcultural Psychiatry; Inter consultation and Liaison Psychiatry; Resistant Major Depressive Disorder; Perinatal psychiatry; and Child sexual abuse and maltreatment.
At international level, it participates and/or coordinates several European projects of great repercussion in the area of mental health. And at national level, it is part of the CIBERSAM (Centre for Biomedical Research in Mental Health Network).
