Donders Centre for Neuroscience

At the Donders Centre for Neuroscience (DCN) we aim to understand the complex neural networks underlying perceptual, motor and cognitive brain functions. We study these networks by employing experimental as well as computational approaches.

The DCN consists of two sections and is part of the world-renowned Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour.

In the spotlight

ERC Consolidator Grant for Dr. Lisa K.E. Genzel

Dr. Lisa Genzel is set to receive a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC). Lisa Genzel, a neurobiologist at the Donders Centre for Neuroscience  - Donders Institute, will research how we build-up and update knowledge networks in our brain.

The ERC Consolidator Grant is designed to support researchers at the stage in which they aim to set up their own independent research team and research programme. The Consolidator Grant is worth up to two million euros.

Master's Neurobiology

Neurobiology is a specialisation within the Master’s programme Medical Biology, Molecular Life Sciences, and Science (Biology-Chemistry).

This specialisation crosses the boundaries of multiple sub-fields of molecular and cellular biology, life sciences, medicine and behavioural sciences.

Master's Neurophysics

Neurophysics is a specialisation within the Master’s programme in Physics and Astronomy, and the Master of Science (Biology-Physics/Physics-Informatics).

We focus on understanding the neuro-computational mechanisms of the brain and how this knowledge can be used for relevant applications, such as robotics and neuro-technology.
