The behavioral neurobiology research group (GReNeC) was constituted in 2007 and it is a recognized team in the study of the neurobiological substrate of the dependence of psychiatric disorder including drug addiction, affective disorders, paychiatric co-morbidity and schizophrenia.

Our group forms a part of Experimental and Health Sciences Department of Pompeu Fabra University (CEXS-UPF), it is associated with IMIM and is located in Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB).

The main research lines of our group are: 

• Neurobiology of addictive behaviour (psychostimulants, alcohol and cannabinoids) 
• Neurotoxicity mechanisms 
• Neurobiology of psychiatric disorders (affective disorders & schizophrenia) 
• Psychiatric co-morbidity 
• Acute, chronic and neuropathic pain 
• Spontaneous behaviour and phenotype of murine models 
• Physiopathology of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.
