Brain and Mind research represents an area of considerable strength across the Plymouth Institute of Health and Care Research (PIHR) and the University as a whole. This theme unites fundamental research on the brain and neurological disease with applied sciences in cognition and behaviour, through to community support for mental and physical health, and experiences of identity, agency, and well-being.
These strands are supported by interdisciplinary and complementary programmes of research and state-of-the-art facilities. The University of Plymouth is strategically positioned to combine contemporary scientific enquiry with a strong connection to people and place, enabling the brain and Mind theme to deliver an effective translational pathway.
