The Center for
Translational
Neuroscience

Transformative science for social change.

 

 

 

The Center for Translational Neuroscience condemns all forms of racism, including racist violence and police brutality, that are historically ingrained in American society and that continue to occur. Our organization is, and will remain, committed to anti-racist actions and activities in all of our work, including our research, training and teaching, and communications. CTN is also committed to an ongoing process of self-examination, in order to identify areas in which the commitment to anti-racism can be improved and acted upon.

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve well-being, promote resilience, and mitigate the effects of early adverse experiences on physical and emotional health by translating discoveries in basic neuroscience, psychology, and related disciplines.

Our Expertise

Our work spans the spectrum from basic science to policy work. Click on a content area to learn more, or visit our projects page to see our full portfolio.
