Olga Valverde Granados
The Behavioural Neurobiology Research Group was constituted in 2007 and is a recognized team in the study of the neurobiological substrate of neuropsychiatric disorders and neurotoxicity, including drug addiction, affective disorders, the consequences of early alcohol exposure and psychiatric co-morbidity. To address our objectives, we use behavioural models in rodents and biochemical and molecular techniques in particular brain areas.
Our group belongs to the Experimental and Health Sciences Department of Pompeu Fabra University and is located in the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park. Our team is member of the Addictive Disorders Network (Red de Trastornos Adictivos RTA-ISCIII) and was integrated in the Neurosciences Programme of IMIM for the translational research activity undertaken.
