For a more accurate exploration of the smallest and most complex structures of the Central Nervous System CIREN has state-of-the-art RMNf equipment (SIEMENS-Magnetom Symphony; 1.5 T) which has broadened the horizons in research on Parkinson's disease, normal ageing and other areas of work within the Centre. Functional RMN has as its immediate goals research on basal ganglions and neuroplastic mechanisms underlying the restoration of cerebral functions.

This department also has a (SIEMENS-SOMATON AR. STAR) Helicoidal Computerised Axial Tomography (AT) which has wide-ranging use in the radio diagnosis of neurological pathologies and other associated conditions. Its use in research has provided complementary date in clinical tests being carried out in different investigative projects.
