Overview of activities
Institute Brain & Behaviour
Jolles is the founder and first director of the Brain & Behaviour Research Institute Maastricht. This institute had its formal start in 1995; it developed from the ‘Ageing programme’ which Jolles initiated and directed from 1986 on. He is also the co-founder of the European Graduate School for Neuroscience (EURON) which formally started with the approval from the Dutch Academy of Sciences/KNAW in 2003. EURON is a formal collaboration between neuro-science departments in the universities of Maastricht (Netherlands), Leuven, Liege and Brussels (Belgium) and Aachen and Düsseldorf (Germany).
Jolles is presently the director of the Research division ‘Cognitive Disorders’ of the Brain & Behaviour research institute. The research is multidisciplinary and involves an integrated research effort over more than 15 disciplines varying from biomedical neurosciences (e.g. neurobiology, animal neuropsychology), clinical neurosciences (clinical neuropsychology, neurology, neuropsychiatry, internal medicine, neuroradiology), cognitive and behavioural neurosciences (cognitive neuropsychology, biopsychology, pharmacopsychology, experimental psychology) to population sciences (medical sociology, social neuropsychiatry, health education). The focus in the research programme is on the investigation of the relative contribution of biological factors versus psychological/psycho-social factors on cognitive development and cognitive ageing in health and disease. Brain structure and function as well as neuropsychological mechanisms are studied in healthy subjects, in patients and in models of brain dysfunction.
