The Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychophysiology investigates neural processes underlying visual cognition, mainly of extrastriate or higher order cortices, of human and non-human primates.
The main tools are single-cell and multiple cell recordings, human and awake monkey fMRI, stimulation and inactivation studies, behavioural studies and modeling.
Particular topics of present interest are animate and inanimate object processing, ...
HISTORY
Existing collaboration between the Gerontology (GERO) Department of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the Clinical Department of Geriatrics (UZ Brussels) has led in 2007 to the creation of the Frailty in Ageing (FRIA) research group for both fundamental and clinical research on frailty in the elderly. FRIA conducts a focussed research program on Frailty.
DEFINITION
Frailty is a complex geriatric syndrome ...
Our division focuses on gerontological and geriatric research and includes basic through clinical studies, with special expertise in clinical trial design in old age. Over the past years, three main research lines have been established: ‘musculoskeletal frailty in the elderly’, ‘cognitive disorders and dementia in the elderly’, and ‘models and quality of healthcare for the elderly’. Here, we focus on research on osteoporosis, sarcopenia and ...
The Research Unit Hypertension and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (HCVE) coordinated influential clinical trials, published in top-ranking journals, such as the Systolic Hypertension in Europe Trial (Syst-Eur), the Ambulatory blood Pressure monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension trial (APTH) and the Treatment of hypertension based on Home or Office blood Pressure trial (THOP). HCVE led the Data Safety and Monitoring Board of large clinical ...
The research group focuses on neuroprotection and neuromodulation.
The Translational MRI research group performs state-of-the-art in-vivo human MR research in neuro, cardiac, oncologic and various other domains. In addition to state-of-the art hardware, software and applications, it provides collaborative resources to support the design, implementation, acquisition and analysis phases of MRI investigations. In collaboration with multiple in-vitro and animal imaging departments, it provides translational ...
