Donders Centre for Neuroscience

The Donders Centre for Neuroscience (DCN) aims to understand the complex neural networks underlying perceptual, motor and cognitive brain functions. Researchers study these networks by employing experimental as well as computational approaches. DCN is a part of Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour and the Faculty of Science.
