The SynCogDys network is formed by 10 research groups from universities and research institutes across Spain. These cover all major fields of expertise in neuroscience: behavioural research in animal models, functional studies on behaving animals, synaptic physiology, pharmacology, cell biology, neuronal circuits, optogenetics, biochemistry, molecular biology and computational biology. While using different methodological approaches all these groups share an interest in the biology of synapses, both in health and disease.
