Centre for the Neurobiology of Stress (CNS) - the Division of Life Sciences at the University of Toronto at Scarborough (UTSC)

The main aim of the Centre for the Neurobiology of Stress ( CNS ) is to encourage cutting-edge research that employs an integrated approach to the study of the neural stress response, drawing on expertise from the molecular, cellular, physiological and organismal levels of analysis. They offer many students programs and one of their research cluster is Neurobiology of Stress - and main research area of this cluster is “Molecular to Field” Studies of the Neural Response to Stress. Naturally, they cooperate with spanning molecular biology, proteomics, cell biology and imaging, physiology and behavioural and field studies. This combined expertise facilitates an integrated approach to the study of the neural stress response, and allows investigation of the effects of stress from the level of gene expression to the modulation of synaptic and cellular function to the effects in the whole animal.
