Neurobehavioral Research Unit
The Neurobehavioral Research Unit focuses on identifying the underlying genetic causes of several major neurobehavioral diseases by using advanced technological devices that scan the entire human genome. The unit's main goal is to successfully build models and pathways that pinpoint the causes of Schizophrenia, bipolar disease, and autism, with the goal of providing insight into potential diagnostics and cures. Ultimately, researchers in this unit hope to offer relief to those patients who suffer from emotional, behavioral, and cognitive difficulties due to injury or disease that affect the patient's quality of life and ability to function in society.
