Centre for Algorithms in the Cortex
Investigating computational principles underlying cortical function and neural coding algorithms.
Research at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience
Research
From deciphering the brain's GPS to understanding how memories are formed and stored.
Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience aims to understand how complex information is encoded in high-level neural networks, and how complex behaviour arise from these systems and codes. Research at the institute is organized across ten research groups and several research centres.
Research Centres
Specialized centres focusing on specific aspects of neuroscience research.
Norwegian Health Association Centre for Dementia Research
Our dementia research centre conducts interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding the causes and progression of dementia, and at improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The centre focuses on how neurodegenerative diseases affect brain circuits underlying memory and cognition, including early changes that occur before clinical symptoms arise.
