How does the brain work –
A biological, philosophical and cultural challenge for modern society!

How did the brain develop? How does it function? How does our brain learn? What is the seat of our personality? Is there a free will?

To answer these questions scientists within the ICNF apply the most up-to-date anatomical, cell biological, molecular biological, physiological and computational methods. > General concept

Diseases of the nervous system –
A humanitarian, social and economical challenge for modern society!

Within the overaged society the prevalence of age-related diseases of the nervous system has considerably increased.

It is the aim of the ICNF to explore the causes of neurological diseases and to shorten the time from bench to bedside.
