OVERVIEW
“The challenge of our time is not to
discover a gene for a particular neuropsychiatric disorder but to understand the
final common pathway of the disorder with advanced brain imaging techniques.”

The Division of Neuropsychiatry was created in
2001 to provide academic leadership in neuroscience research within the
Department of Psychiatry. It provides a home for basic science researchers
within the department and facilitates more effective collaboration with clinical
research groups. It enhances collaboration between imaging researchers at the
Robarts Research Institute, the Lawson Health Research Institute and these
clinical research groups. Finally, it allows the development of advanced
training opportunities within the department at a fellowship, MSc, PhD and
postdoctoral level through collaboration with the Department of Medical
Biophysics, Anatomy and Cell Biology and the Neuroscience Graduate Program. The
division also contributes to clinical service provision through a consultation
role with the Department of Clinical Neurological Sciences and with the Acquired
Brain Injury program at Parkwood Hospital.
