The research group in Neurobiology of Behaviour (Neurobiologia del Comportament (GReNeC)), led by Olga Valverde, was constituted in 2007 and is a recognized team in the study of the neurobiological substrate of psychiatric disorders and neurotoxicity, including drug addiction, affective disorders, psychiatric co-morbidity and schizophrenia.
The main research lines of the group are:
- Neurobiology of addictive behaviour (psychostimulants, alcohol and cannabinoids)
- Neurotoxicity mechanisms
- Neurobiology of psychiatric disorders (affective disorders and schizophrenia)
- Psychiatric co-morbidity
- Acute, chronic and neuropathic pain
- Spontaneous behaviour and phenotype of murine models
- Physiopathology of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders
