Programme structure

You’ll study diverse brain functions by measuring and manipulating cognitive, emotional, hormonal and neural mechanisms, as well as by (epi)genetic fingerprinting and developing cell and animal disease models. You’ll learn to do research towards patient care that individualises the diagnostic approach and therapeutic and care interventions. The aim is to obtain an optimal fit with patient characteristics and individual preference.

Career opportunities

In the Plasticity and Memory specialisation you’ll gain ample knowledge of the anatomical and neurophysiological aspects of the human brain and theoretical cognition/neurocognition models. This will enable you to conduct independent research into the neurofunctional architecture of cognitive key functions, such as perception, attention, memory, language, planning, and targeted actions. Graduates of this specialisation may more readily find a position with one of the research institutes in the Netherlands or abroad, government institutions, or specialised companies (e.g. in the pharmaceutical industry).
