Neuroscientists continue to work on many projects that will benefit people suffering with mental illnesses. Discoveries were made in many areas including smoking, depression, schizophrenia, problem gambling and Parkinson’s Disease. Deep brain stimulation, neuroimaging, molecular pharmacology, genetics, pharmacogenetics and epigenetics research are the leading areas of discoveries in our neuroscience program. Our neuroscientists publish over 150 scholarly papers each year, and have attracted over 13 million dollars in research funding in the last year.
