Research

The Donders Centre for Neuroscience (DCN) is dedicated to unravelling the intricate neural networks that are fundamental to perceptual, motor, and cognitive functions of the brain. To achieve this understanding, researchers at the centre utilise a combination of experimental methods and computational techniques.

Projects

Donders Challenge

Donders Challenge: A dive into brain diversity

Research

One of the least appreciated aspects of brain organization is its diversity across species.

Research setting ALS research

RNA Sequencing of the Neuromuscular Junction in FUS-associated ALS

Research

The project's goal is to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie neuromuscular junction defects in ALS in order to identify potential therapeutic targets.

ProMiSe

Research

In the multidisciplinary ProMiSe project, researchers intend to make a blueprint for how the integration of neurobiological and clinical knowledge can lead to improvement of care for patients with rare genetic syndromes.
