Basic and Applied Aspects of Neuropsychiatric and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Lineas de Investigación
This line of research studies everything from basic biomedical aspects of neurotransmission and regeneration of the central nervous system to applied clinical and therapeutic aspects. Different teams make up this multidisciplinary group, which allows for addressing neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases from different approaches that converge on the study of their basic mechanisms. This leads to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for the treatment of these diseases. This group is endorsed by its years of research and teaching.
01. Study of the role of neuropeptides in the central nervous system (CNS) in key areas for the mediation of behavioural functions associated with anxiety, depression, and fear.
02. Analysis of the functional interaction of the opioid and dopaminergic systems during opiate dependence in areas related to learning and consolidation of the habits of addictive behaviour.
03. Further research into the molecular and cellular bases (such as oxidative stress) involved in the genesis of neurodegenerative processes such as ageing and Parkinson’s disease as well as the study of the neuroprotective effects of IGF-II.
04. Early diagnosis, monitoring, and intervention in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases and through techniques for autonomic and cognitive evaluation. Basic and applied aspects.
