Burdakov research group specialises in neurophysiology, focussing on identification of specific, rapid neural signals that sense and control basic body states (nutrient levels, autonomic arousal, etc). More information can be found here.

Peleg-Raibstein research group specialises in cognitive and behavioural psychology, focussing on understanding how emotional and cognitive processes (e.g. anxiety, memory, motivation) are controlled by environmental challenges and experiences. More information can be found here.

The two research groups - which were established in 2006 and 2012 respectively - maintain their separate identifies, but also closely collaborate since 2018, on subjects like neurophysiological bases of cognition (for example, external page Tesmer et al 2024) and translational neurophysiology for treatment of mental disorders (for example, external page Li et al 2022).
