We are administratively housed in CMNS and support the University of Maryland research enterprise. The mission of the Brain and Behavior Institute is to advance neuroscience through collaboration with diverse partner disciplines, develop cutting-edge tools and promote the translation of basic science. The BBI is a research community of 100+ investigators that harnesses the power of a multi-disciplinary approach to solve the most pressing problems related to nervous system function in development, aging and disease.
