TINS. Studying neural circuits.

The Transylvanian Institute of Neuroscience (TINS) is a private, non-profit research institute founded by neuroscientists. Its main mission is to further neuroscientific research by studying the dynamics of neural circuits in health and disease. TINS also focuses on research in cognitive sciences and brain-inspired artificial intelligence. TINS is located in Cluj-Napoca, a vibrant university city in the heart of Transylvania.

TINS was founded in October 2017 with the purpose of providing the institutional framework necessary for the advanced experimental research of the function of neural circuits. Presently, multiple research labs operate at TINS, benefiting from an exceptional experimental and computational infrastructure. TINS is the organizer of the Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School (TENSS)
