Nead Centre

The Neurocognition and Emotion Across Disorders of the Brain (NEAD) Centre employs a multidisciplinary cognitive neuropsychiatric approach that bridges neuropsychology, clinical psychiatry, and neuroscience research to achieve our overarching vision to enhance cognitive health. Our research work is structured around five core goals: 1. Identification of neurocognitive biomarkers of neuropsychiatric conditions 2. Understanding neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive impairment and trajectories 3. Development of cognitive screening tools and prophylactic cognitive training 4. Design and testing of novel pro-cognitive interventions 5. Large-scale initiatives to understand cognitive health across psychiatric, chronic somatic and healthy populations
