Neuroscience

We make a lasting impact for patients in neuroscience. We are committed to research toward innovative solutions to address some of the most difficult-to-treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Breaking barriers with cutting-edge research

In the field of neuroscience, there are many tough-to-treat disorders with high unmet need. Our researchers and scientists are relentless in their pursuit of raising the standards of care through innovative approaches to help patients.

But the brain is complex, and new challenges require new ways of thinking across all stages of drug discovery and development. That’s why we are continuously exploring innovative approaches to address some of the most prevalent and serious brain disorders.


What we’re up against

Brain disorders encompass a broad set of neurological and psychiatric conditions with potentially devastating effects. They can alter the way people think, feel and move, causing identities to slip away and connections – past, present and future – to be lost.

Research interests

Despite these challenges, progress in the field of neuroscience has advanced in recent years and AbbVie is leading the way. We are harnessing new tools, innovations in research methods and an enhanced understanding of biology to drive key scientific advancements and optimism for the future of neuroscience.

To deliver the next wave of medicines in neuroscience, we’re committed to being at the forefront of science and technology. 

Neuroscience and psychiatric focus areas

We are steadfast in our commitment to address the unmet needs of people living with neurological and psychiatric disorders. We target unmet needs because we believe every hurdle and every challenge, even the most insurmountable, can and needs to be overcome.
