Behavioral & Cognitive Neuroscience

How does the brain give rise to perception, memory, decision-making, and behavior? This research area explores the neural mechanisms underlying cognition and action – from animal models to human studies. GSN faculty members combine experimental and computational approaches to uncover how the brain processes information and guides behaviour in health and disease.
