In addition to the excellent research environment that ENI-G provides, its independent group leaders can gain from the resources and funding efforts such as the Collaborative Research Centers (SFB) within the Göttingen Neuroscience community. The ENI-G also houses the exceptionally strong graduate program ‘IMPRS Neurosciences’, facilitating easy interactions with excellent students. Present groups explore a variety of topics, ranging from molecular and physiological to circuit level analysis, and computational as well as cognitive neuroscience in health and disease.
