Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Neuroscience
  • Neurobiology of Social Behavior

Background:

  • Established in 1999, the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN) fosters research across eight institutions.
  • Supported by NSF and Georgia Research Alliance, it focuses on the neurobiology of social behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To facilitate innovative research into the neural underpinnings of social behaviors.
  • To expand research into reward, memory, cognition, and sex differences in behavior.
  • To train future behavioral neuroscientists and promote diversity in the field.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes diverse model systems, from invertebrates to humans.
  • Employs collaboratories and advanced technology core laboratories for molecular, cellular, systems, and imaging tools.
  • Investigates fear, aggression, affiliation, and reproductive behaviors.
