Our main activities
The research team is involved in the development of preclinical models of neurocognitive diseases in four laboratories:
1. Small rodent behavioural pharmacology lab at the Szentágothai Research Centre (SZRC),
2. Electrophysiology laboratory at the Faculty of Sciences (TTK),
3. Non human primate (NHP) laboratory at the Grastyán Translational Research Centre (GTKK),
4. Human psychophysiology lab at the Faculty of Sciences (TTK). Our research group has very strong industrial relationships and is also part of the Platform for Dementia Prevention (https://demenciaplatform.hu/en/).
Our research group also takes an active part in teaching at University: we teach in the undergraduate and graduate psychology programmes at the Faculty of Humanities, in the graduate programmes of General Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacology at the Medical School and in the undergraduate and graduate programmes of Biology at the Faculty of Sciences. Our research group manages the Small Animal Core Facility at the Szentágothai Research Centre (https://szkk.pte.hu/en/core_facilities/animal_facility) and the animal transport service of the University. Our research group takes an active role in organizing the University's Animal Welfare Committee (https://mab.pte.hu) and we represent the University in the European Animal Research Association (https://www.eara.eu).
