The Neuroscience Institute is a community of scholars exploring the development, structure and function of the nervous system. The institute was established in 2008 in vibrant, downtown Atlanta.

The field of neuroscience is enthusiastically multidisciplinary, as is the Neuroscience Institute. In addition to our 20+ core faculty, our associate faculty can be found in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Kinesiology, Math & Statistics, Music, Nursing, Nutrition, Education, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Physics & Astronomy, Psychology and Social Work. These faculty work on basic neuroscience questions as well as medical and societal issues. Interdepartmental collaborations are promoted through workshops, retreats and grants administered by the Brains & Behavior Area of Focus.

Through its core and associate faculty, the Neuroscience Institute is constantly exploring new avenues in education and research. We offer the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in neuroscience and train about 500 undergraduate majors and 65 graduate students.

Leading scholars from Georgia and around the world participate in our Neuroscience Institute and Brains & Behavior Distinguished Lecturer colloquium series.

I encourage you to explore our website and learn more about the Neuroscience Institute's programs, faculty, students and alumni.
