Mission:

The Center of Neurobiology and Behavior (CNB) is an interdisciplinary research program with core faculty, space and administration within the Department of Psychiatry. The primary scientific objective of the CNB is to foster interdisciplinary research and training in the basic neural and molecular mechanisms underlying complex behavior, including but not limited to psychopathologic behavior. The placement of the CNB within the Department of Psychiatry fosters a bi-directional translation of research between clinical and basic research programs. The CNB was established in 1996 in order to consolidate and to give a specific identity to existing basic science programs within Psychiatry.
