Research Centers
The mission of the Center for Translational Neuroscience is to advance knowledge of the pathogenesis of brain disease and to translate this knowledge to improved clinical outcomes for families affected by brain disease.
The Center for Vision Research was formed in 2007 to capitalize on Brown University's rich history and strength in vision research, which dates back to the 19th century.
Brown University’s Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research is committed to advancing early detection and individualized treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
The NIH-funded COBRE Center for Central Nervous System Function focuses on the brain processes that underlie attention, decision making and action.
The Center for the Neurobiology of Cells and Circuits focuses on the function of neural circuits, with an eye toward producing vital knowledge to advance understanding and treatment of autism, neurodegeneration including Alzheimer’s and ALS, chronic pain, psychiatric illness, migraine, addiction, and epilepsy.
The Brown Center on the Biology of Aging brings together a group of faculty in an organized effort to study the basic biological processes that are associated with aging.
