Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience — Studies of the mechanisms of neuronal excitability and development, and of the genetic basis of behavior.
Neural Systems — Studies of the integrative function of the nervous system.
Translational Research — Studies designed to improve the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and our understanding of the causes of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
