Welcome to the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN), a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center. The CBN is an award-winning, interdisciplinary research consortium. The CBN celebrated its 20-year anniversary in 2019, marking the tremendous strides made by center members in research and education that will have lasting impact on the field of neuroscience for decades to come.
The CBN supports innovative research on the brain mechanism of social behavior, educates new generations of research scientists and students in interdisciplinary approaches to behavioral neuroscience, and transmits the excitement of scientific discovery to the general public.
Our researchers use cutting-edge techniques from brain imaging to molecular methods. They have identified a brain chemical that has implications in treating autism, pioneered new methods to diagnose and treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), examined brain signaling systems related to obesity, and determined the genetic sequence of an antimicrobial protein from sea slugs with great potential in healthcare and environmental clean-up. These and other major break-throughs demonstrate the power of the CBN
