Projects in cellular and molecular neurobiology range from basic science investigations of development, function, and maintenance of synapses to translational research focused on neurodegenerative disease and aging.

Innovation in cognition and behavior intersects with basic science research in human brain function and clinical work in psychiatry at Brown’s affiliated hospitals.

Research in computation in brain and mind brings together theorists and experimentalists in an effort to understand fundamental brain and cognitive processes.

Faculty are unravelling the mysteries of neural circuits, using genetic and electrophysiological approaches to explore brain development and function in health and disease.

Brown is a global leader in neurotechnology and neuroengineering research with a history of pioneering work in brain-machine interface technology.

Faculty confront a range of complex questions about sensory perception and behavior.
