Center for Brain Science

Director: Kenneth Blum

Location: Fairchild Building 7 Divinity Ave. Cambridge, MA 02138

Core Summary:

Researchers in the Center for Brain Science (CBS) aim to understand neural circuits. We are learning the structure and function of neural circuits and discovering how these circuits change during development and aging. We are investigating how neural circuits govern behavior and how they vary between individuals. We are deepening our understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and their therapies. To accomplish this mission, CBS also brings neuroscientists together with physical scientists and engineers to develop new tools for neuroscience. The Center for Brain Science has strong links throughout the neuroscience community at Harvard University. Members are drawn from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Neurobiology at the Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals. In the spring of 2008, the Center for Brain Science will become a primary tenant of the Northwest Building, on Oxford Street in Cambridge.
