From fundamental aspects of nerve-nerve communication, to more complex networks and the brain, our clinician scientists, biologists, psychologists, computer scientists and engineers aim to improve understanding of nervous system function in health and disease.

Through a proactive and dynamic network of collaborations between scientists, clinicians, health care workers and stakeholders, we are bringing this progress to bear on the problems presented by devastating brain and ophthalmic disorders incurred by degenerative diseases such as dementias and macular degeneration,? by stroke, brain trauma, and psychiatric conditions.
