ABOUT OUT Group
The UIS–UPB Neuroscience and Behavior Research Group is an interinstitutional research group of the Universidad Industrial de Santander and the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, recognized by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Minciencias). Its mission is to generate knowledge in basic and clinical neuroscience while training highly qualified researchers grounded in scientific and ethical principles. Its research lines include neuropsychological assessment, the study of emotional memory in humans, its alterations in anxiety and depressive disorders, and the neurobiology of these conditions. The group also conducts research in psychophysiology and develops software for processing physiological signals associated with cognitive and emotional processes, as well as for the assessment of memory, learning, and emotional functioning. In addition, it carries out research projects, strengthens master’s and doctoral programs, and maintains national and international research collaborations.
RESEARCH Lines
Neuropsychological Assessment Development
This research line focuses on the design, adaptation, and validation of instruments and assessment tools for measuring cognitive functions—including memory, attention, language, and executive functions—tailored to the Colombian population and to clinical and research settings.
Study of Emotional Memory in Humans
This research line investigates the processes through which emotionally charged experiences are encoded, consolidated, and retrieved, as well as how emotions influence memory in healthy individuals.
Emotional Memory in Anxiety and Depression
This research line examines alterations in emotional memory among individuals with anxiety and depression, including biases toward negative stimuli and their role in the development and maintenance of these disorders.
Neurobiology of Anxiety and Depression
This research line investigates the biological foundations—including neural circuits, neurotransmitters, and physiological mechanisms—underlying anxiety and depression, with the aim of advancing the understanding of their pathophysiology and identifying potential therapeutic approaches.
