CENECON

The Center of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology (CENECON) belongs to the School of Medicine of the University of Buenos Aires  (Argentina). It was created with the aim of developing translational cognitive neuroscience helping to improve the living conditions of patients suffering neurologic and psychiatric disorders, their relatives, and the population in general.

To fulfill this aim, the CENECON advances research and study of the brain, focused on human behaviour and cognitive disorders. It promotes the training of professionals in the fields of mental health and neuroscience, in order to establish better therapeutic actions, and disseminate topics related to this area of ​​interest.

The CENECON develops its activities at the Hospital de Clinicas “Jose de San Martin” and integrates as a workplace of the Argentine National Research Council (CONICET). This allows many people to have access for assessment and treatment of their condition.

The CENECON has representatives from a large variety of fields and backgrounds, including cognitive neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, and researchers from both clinical and basic sciences, including biochemists.

Since 2003, our group has participated in several clinical trials and basic research. We have set up a laboratory to analyse DNA and genetic biomarkers, within the framework of a translational medicine programme. In this scenario the CENECON stimulates the development of young researchers, and the dissemination of its activities through courses and conferences.
