Research at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences revolves around human cognitive abilities and cerebral processes, with a focus on the neural basis of brain functions like language ...

The Department’s research agenda is to identify the functional architecture of language and its neuroanatomical basis in the mature and the developing brain ...

Research in the department of neurology focusses on the development of vascular risk factors leading to stroke and functional recovery after stroke. We pursue the hypothesis that our behavior and concomitant ...

Our vision is to develop and apply functional microstructure imaging and in-vivo histology using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as novel non-invasive MRI methods to reliably characterize the detailed ...

Our overarching goal is to crack the cognitive code. The fundamental question in cognitive neuroscience—what are the key coding principles of the brain enabling human thinking—still remains largely unanswered ...

The International Max Planck Research School on Neuroscience of Communication: Function, Structure, and Plasticity (IMPRS NeuroCom) is based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences ...
