Our research themes and multidisciplinary approach. Members of the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences (CDBS) carry out research at molecular, cellular, systems and behavioural levels to understand fundamental mechanisms and pathways relevant to brain and body function in health and disease. Genes and Development The Research Theme is investigating developmental mechanisms at molecular, genetic and cellular level. Synapses, Circuits and Behaviour The Research Theme is studying the cellular and circuit mechanisms underpinning nervous system functions. Injury and Repair The Research Theme is exploring the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underpin cell and tissue differentiation, resilience to injury, and repair processes. Signalling, Homeostasis and Energy Balance The Research Theme is investigating the function and regulation of organs and tissue. Ageing and Degeneration This Research Theme is trying to understand the cause of decline in the function of neuronal networks during ageing. This article was published on 2023-12-08
