Biological Computation Research Group

Head of laboratory: Balázs Ujfalussy
From biophysics to single neuron and network dynamics using computational models.

Molecular Cell Metabolism Research Group

Head of laboratory: Balázs Gereben, Dr.
The major aim of the group is to study thyroid hormone economy in the brain and coupled peripheries.

Translational Behavioural Neuroscience Research Group

Head of laboratory: Éva Mikics
Translational Behavioural Neuroscience Research Group

Neuronal Signaling Research Group

Head of laboratory: Judit Makara
Our focus is to understand how cellular and subcellular information processing mechanisms contribute to single cell and network computations during physiologically relevant learning-related behaviors.

Molecular Neuroendocrinology Research Group

Head of laboratory: Krisztina Kovács
Our research focus is to understand the neurobiological basis of stress response. We are also interested in how the microbiome affects host endocrine functions and
stress reactivity.

Neuronal Network and Behavior Research Group

Head of laboratory: Ferenc Mátyás, Dr
We are driven to understand emotional brain circuits and their malfunctions.

Systems Neuroscience Research Group

Head of laboratory: Balázs Hangya
The aim of our research is how different neuron types of subcortical centers mediate cognitive processes such as attention, learning and memory.

Reproductive Neurobiology Research Group

Head of laboratory: Erik Hrabovszky
Research in the Reproductive Neurobiology Research Group aims to provide a better understanding into the central regulation of the reproductive axis.

Cellular Neuropharmacology Research Group

Head of laboratory: János Szabadics
Our passion is understanding electrical signaling in hippocampal axons. What single axons can do? How do they do it?

Molecular Pharmacology Research Group

Head of laboratory: Beáta Sperlágh
Our main scientific mission is to understand how inflammation affect the development of psychiatric disorders and to develop novel purinergic and neuroimmunomodulatory strategies to combat brain diseases.

Network Neurophysiology Research Group

Head of laboratory: Norbert Hájos
The aim of our research team is to understand the logic underlying circuit operation in neuronal networks.

Molecular Neurobiology Research Group

Head of laboratory: István Katona
Our work aims to understand the processes that regulate communication between neurons. We investigate the molecular structure and physiological role of the mechanisms responsible for the variability of neural signalling.

Integrative Neuroendocrinology Research Group

Head of laboratory: Csaba Fekete
Our goal is to understand the regulation of the energy homeostasis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

Cellular Neurophysiology Research Group

Head of laboratory: Zoltán Nusser
Our major scientific aim is to reveal molecular mechanisms underlying the functional diversity of hippocampal synapses and to determine the consequences of this diversity on hippocampal network function, spatial navigation, and learning.

Systems & Integrative Neuroscience Research Group

Head of laboratory: Gábor Nyiri
We explore the contributions of subcortical regions to higher-order cognitive functions in the brain.
