AmygdalaNetzwerk

AmygdalaNetzwerk is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland that focuses on the development of a network of brain and mind-related research institutions. The organization was founded in 1999 with the aim of creating a collaborative framework for international research in neuroscience and its related fields.

AmygdalaNetzwerk's mission is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise among scientists and researchers from various disciplines. The organization's name, "AmygdalaNetzwerk," literally translates to "amygdala network," referring to the amygdala, a small almond-shaped structure in the brain that plays a key role in processing emotions.

The network operates through a decentralized structure, with a loose affiliation of institutions and research groups that share a common interest in brain and mind-related research. Membership is open to any research institution, university, or organization that aligns with the organization's goals and objectives.

AmygdalaNetzwerk's activities focus on fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of new research projects. The organization organizes regular conferences, workshops, and training events, which bring together leading experts and researchers in the field.

AmygdalaNetzwerk has a strong interest in fostering dialogue and cooperation between academia, industry, and the public sector. The organization believes that collaboration and exchange are crucial for advancing our understanding of the brain and its functions, and for developing potential applications and innovations.

Through its network and initiatives, AmygdalaNetzwerk seeks to contribute to addressing some of the biggest challenges in neuroscience research, such as understanding the mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and developing new treatments and therapies.
