Neuronal Network
and Behavior Research Group
Welcome to our lab!
ABOUT US
We are the Neuronal Network and Behavior research group established in 2015 at the Research Centre for Natural Sciences of the Eötvös Lóránd Research Network (Budapest, Hungary). We are driven to understand emotional brain circuits and their malfunctions, combining various neurobiological techniques, from molecular biology to behavioral assays. Feel free to surf around our official website, where you can learn about our latest news and our lab members, or get in touch with us!
