NCU research project- awarded 2011

In the second round 14 projects were awarded. As in the first round, granted projects establish new collaborations and promote crossing borders of classically distinct research areas.

Below a brief description of the various projects can be found:

1. Epigenetic modification of the stress response
2. Biological grounding of the unconscious human will: The role of the ventral striatum in outcome priming effects on motivated action
3. Proactive versus reactive inhibition in ADHD: Genetics, neurobiology and pharmacology
4. The human brain is a network
5. Imaging mental imagery in anorexia nervosa: A collaborative project from experimental psychopathology, neurobiology and neuroimaging
6. To hit your goal: towards understanding deficits in response selection
7. Neuronal Cell Screening Center (NCSC)-A microscopy-based screening platform for genes associated with psychiatric and neurologic disease
8. Discovering declarative memory: A multi-modal imaging approach in patients with ischemic stroke
9. How audible smiles affect speech comprehension
10. Controlling behavior using optogenetics
11. Finding new genes for ALS: a combined neuroimaging-neurogenetics approach
12. The Drum Language of Senegal – a Neurolinguistic Perspective
13. Stress on Stress in Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
14. How the brain differentiates between “on” and “above”: the neurocognition of topological and projective prepositions
