How do we know where we are, where we have been and where we are going? Such are the questions that the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim aims to answer. The Institute seeks to unlock the secrets of memory by studying the neural microcircuits and networks in the hippocampus and associated areas of the brain, where memory is encoded, stored and retrieved. It focuses in particular on the memory of place and direction that underlies our spatial navigation skills.
Conducting basic and translational research within the areas of synaptic transmission and plasticity in the neurosystem
The Neuroscience Research Group consists of six principle investigators conducting basic and translational research within the areas of synaptic transmission and plasticity in the hippocampus, memory mechanisms and hippocampal function, neural mechanisms related to regulation and transmission of pain, synaptic and cellular mechanisms of visual processing, sleep mechanisms, cognitive function and depression, and applied image analysis and neuroinformatics.
Department of Neuroscience conducts studies and research in a variety of disciplines, including basic and clinical neurosciences, geriatrics, psychiatry, sense organs, neuro- and oral surgery, orthopaedics, rheumatology, and health informatics. The department also comprises several national centres of competence in addition to the Centre for the Biology of Memory, which is a Centre of Excellence. Our research groups are located at St. Olavs University Hospital and its surroundings.
Creating a link between clinical practice, applied-, and basic research in the fields pertaining to minimally invasive and image guided therapy
The Interventional Centre is a research and development centre for medcial imaging, image guided and minimally invasive therapy at Oslo University Hospital in Oslo, Norway and Faculty of Medicine at University of Oslo. The centre was established in 1996.
Network of Norwegian research groups and clinicians studying brain development
The Norwegian Consortium on Brain Development assembles a uniquely interdisciplinary network of Norwegian research groups and clinicians studying brain development, from its earliest stages in the womb to formative events during childhood and early adulthood. The Norwegian Consortium on Brain Development currently includes researchers from basic research and clinical departments at the University of Oslo, Oslo University Hospital, the University of Bergen, Haukeland Hospital, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and St Olavs Hospital. It also maintains a far-reaching network of collaborations with research and clinical institutions around the world.
Norwegian Centre of Excellence at the University of Oslo and Rikshospitalet, Oslo University Hospital.
The Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (CMBN) (Senter for molekylærbiologi og nevrovitenskap) is a CMBN shall take on a leading role in elucidating the role of DNA repair and genome maintenance mechanisms in preventing neurological disease and brain ageing.
The Bergen fMRI Group is an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Bergen (UiB) and Haukeland University Hospital with interests in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI).
The Bergen fMRI Group is an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Bergen (UiB) and Haukeland University Hospital with interests in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). The research is focused on brain activation studies related to a broad spectre of cognitive functions, including laterality, speech and language, working memory, attention, cognitive control and emotions. The group is also involved in research related to voxel-based morphometry, perfusion/diffusion imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, spectroscopy, EEG and neuroinformatics, using a range of statistical tools and software.
