Department of Neuroscience
The Department of Neuroscience at the Scripps Florida campus is focused on understanding the inner workings of the nervous system, what goes wrong in the many neurological and psychiatric disorders that affect its function and developing interventions for these conditions. Our mission has four pillars. First, we seek to make fundamental discoveries through intensive, collaborative, and multidisciplinary basic research. Second, we seek to discover the biological basis for disorders. Third, we develop new cures and therapies for the disorders of the nervous system. Fourth, we provide nurturing environment for the training of the next generation of neuroscientists.
Giving

This is incredibly important as cutting-edge science is filled with setbacks and some failures. The cheerleaders that we have in the public sector provide support and increased motivation to reach our goals. We thank them for their efforts and support.
