Neuroscience Portal

The Neuroscience Program at George Mason brings together experimental and theoretical scientists.

It draws from research in many departments — Psychology, Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular and Microbiology, Electrical Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.

Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience Experience lab    University of Arizona

The ACNE Lab addresses issues relating to the processing of complex acoustic signals such as speech, music, and other environmental sounds.  Current projects include examining how people learn the sounds of a 2nd language and how one’s native language can interfere with this learning; investigating the ability of listeners to “tune” their perception to the particular characteristics of a speaker (e.g., understanding someone with a foreign accent or disordered speech); and studying how the design of cochlear implants and hearing aids can affect the ability of listeners to understand speech in complex listening environments. This multidisciplinary lab works closely with researchers in Psychology, Linguistics, Neurophysiology, and Electrical Engineering.

About Us webpages    Allen Brain Atlas 

Mission

Our mission is to accelerate the understanding of how the human brain works in health and disease. Using a big science approach, we generate useful public resources, drive technological and analytical advances, and discover fundamental brain properties through integration of experiments modeling and theory.

Background

Launched in 2003 with a seed contribution from founder and philanthropist Paul G. Allen, the Allen Institute takes on large-scale initiatives designed to push brain research forward, enabling the global scientific community to more efficiently make discoveries that bring real-world utility.

HHMI website    Janelia Farm website 

Opened in 2006, HHMI’s Janelia Farm Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Va., where scientists pursue biology’s most challenging problems in a uniquely innovative and collaborative atmosphere.

DIVERSITY

Small, cross-disciplinary teams bring chemists, physicists, computational scientists, and engineers into close collaboration with biologists.

INNOVATION

Janelia collaborations have yieldedseveral new technologies in optical imaging and genetic sequencing, and in using software to assemble sophisticated 3D models of neural circuitry.

FREEDOM TO COLLABORATE

Scientists at Janelia Farm have the freedom and resources to pursuelong-term projects of high significance.

website    NIF (neuroscience information network

The NIH is home to one of the largest neuroscience research centers in the world. Over 150 laboratories, originating from eleven different Institutes, conduct research in the basic, translational, and clinical neurosciences. Through scientific collaboration, Pre- and Postdoctoral Training Programs, jointly sponsored Seminar Series and Special Interest Groups, scientists at NIH contribute to a vital and growing neuroscience research community. This website represents an inter-institute effort to convey, on an NIH wide basis, the research being conducted in the neurosciences. The specific areas of neuroscience research represented within this site range over a broad spectrum within the biological sciences including biophysics, molecular and cellular neurobiology, synapses and circuits, neuronal development, integrative neuroscience, brain imaging and both neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Mission

The Krasnow Institute seeks to expand understanding of mind, brain, and intelligence by conducting research at the intersection of the separate fields of cognitive psychology, neurobiology, and the computer-driven study of artificial intelligence and complex adaptive systems. These separate disciplines increasingly overlap and promise progressively deeper insight into human thought processes. The Institute also examines how new insights from cognitive science research can be applied for human benefit in the areas of mental health, neurological disease, education, and computer design.
