Neurosciences

Overview

The Neuroscience area is consolidating its position as one of the largest clusters of research labs working on neurological diseases across Europe. Thirteen groups are currently part of this area, working closely with top clinicians at the hospital. The area encompasses different aspects related to neuroscience, such as neural development, neurodegeneration, neuroimmunology, neurological pain, mental health, neurosurgery, pediatric neurology or neuroimaging

There are groups also focused on cell signaling and apoptosis and translational bioinformatics.

Our group has started to work on our main overarching project the Migraine Adaptive Brain Program.

Migraine is complex hereditary brain disorder, which helps us understand how the brain communicates and adapts to change through the sensory processing of internal and external stimuli. Our mission is to study brain function by analyzing how neural networks adapt, respond and communicate with cognitive circuits and the environment through sensory networks, and to transfer this knowledge to diagnose, treat and prevent brain disorders, such as migraine. We also aim to develop evidence-based approaches to enhance individual abilities and non-cognitive skills, and improve brain sense technological devices, with the ultimate goal of promoting self- knowledge and globally increasing the quality of life. Once these functions are better understood we will improve individual abilities and develop therapeutic solutions.

Clinical Trials In 2018, we finished 3 phase III clinical trials, and started 3 more trials with the indication of studying new treatments for migraine, chronic migraine and episodic cluster headache.
