Topics
The aim of the NCCR “SYN-
APSY, The synaptic bases
of mental diseases” is to develop
an ambitious translational
program linking
neuroscience to psychiatry
with the aim to uncover the
pathogenetic neurobiological
mechanisms underlying
mental and cognitive
disorders. This will be
achieved by bringing together
a selected group of
internationally recognized

basic neuroscientists active
in cutting-edge research
relevant to higher brain
functions with researchoriented
academic psychiatrists.
In addition to the expected
scientific outcomes,
the establishment of this
NCCR should have an important
clinical and societal
impact: based on the understanding
of the pathophysiological
mechanisms
underlying mental disorders,
one can expect the
development of novel preventive
and therapeutic approaches
which ultimately
will improve the quality of
life of patients. It will also
contribute to the emergence
of a new generation of clinicians
with a strong neuroscientific
background thus
positioning Switzerland as
a leader at the international
level in neuroscience-based
psychiatry.
