What is the molecular basis of cognition? How do we observe and measure the brain? How do cells in the brain respond to change?
Using the latest tools, techniques and approaches, scientists are generating new knowledge about the brain at many levels – from single cells and circuits to the whole brain. Their efforts are shedding light on how brains develop and change over time, and simultaneously unraveling the processes that underlie memory, behavior and more.

Brain InitiativesThe Kavli Prize in Neuroscience
The Kavli Prize in Neuroscience is awarded for outstanding achievement in advancing our knowledge and understanding of the brain and nervous system, including molecular neuroscience, cellular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, neurogenetics, developmental neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and related facets of the brain and nervous system.
Neuroscience is the science of the brain. The brain itself is the most complex and the most advanced product of nature and basic to the very existence of the human being.
