  • About department
  • Employees

Affective Cognitive Neuroscience Lab was established in 2013 as a subdivision of the Department of Behavioural Neuroscience and Drug Development at the Institute of Pharmacology Polish Academy of Sciences. In 2017 the laboratory was associated with the Department of Pharmacology. Our main research activity is aimed at investigating the behavioural, pharmacological, neuroanatomical, and neurochemical correlates of cognitive processing biases in animal models.
