CORTEX combines multidisciplinary effort to understand the brain and human cognition, based on systems level studies of networks and interactions of multiple scales, from neurons to individuals. How the cortex is dynamically assembled, its architecture, the computations it supports and finally its capacities for perception, action, emotion and communication are part and parcel of a highly integrated process. Hence creating a coherent research program that integrates the communities pursuing cortex development, physiology and anatomy, cognitive science, medicine, social sciences is a primary ambition of CORTEX.
