Brain and Behavior Research Foundation
The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation is committed to alleviating the suffering caused by mental illness by awarding grants that will lead to advances and breakthroughs in scientific research.
Our model encourages new and innovative research in that we are able to support new ideas from bottom up generated by scientists.
Examples include the early support for optogenetics, deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and rapid-acting antidepressants.
Each of these important breakthroughs received initial key support from grants provided by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation
