Neuroscience Center

Neuroscience Center (NC) fosters a vibrant intellectual environment that brings together a multidisciplinary group of neuroscientists. The mission of the Neuroscience Center is to advance fundamental discoveries in neurosciences to understand how the brain gives rise to complex dynamics and behaviors in health and disease. The research in NC spans across several scales from stem cell research to neurobiology, to circuit- and systems neuroscience. Our research applies various cutting-edge neurotechnology platforms, neuroimaging tools and sophisticated analysis techniques that helps us unravel neuronal processing at multiple levels. Our goal is to pursue fundamental discoveries about brain functions and to promote health and wellbeing by translating research findings into improvements in the treatments, preventions and diagnostics of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Our community is international and we are committed to inclusive, safe, comfortable culture for promoting diverse talents.

Come and hear top neuroscientists and discuss these and other timely questions in the context of their research. The events are open to students, postdocs, group leaders, or anyone interested in neuroscience, and science in general. Our main seminar series, called UHBrain seminar, invites researchers around the world to present their findings and share knowledge.

Neuroscience Center is located in Meilahti campus in Helsinki.
