Neuroscience, the study
of the human nervous system, the brain, and
the biological basis of consciousness, perception,
memory and learning is a broad and complex
science.
Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience,
TCIN, is an interdisciplinary research and
teaching institute with a unique niche of
investigators whose mission is captured in
the phrase 'from molecules to mind', emphasising
the vision stretching across differing levels
of investigation of brain function. The philosophy
of the institute is that an innovative approach
to research in neurosciences crosses traditionally
distinct academic boundaries focusing on and
anticipating the needs at the cutting edge
of neuroscience, a quality that is necessary
to be internationally competitive in the challenge
of delivering molecule to mind to society.
