We are engaged in understanding how the brain works, and how sometimes it doesn't. https://twitter.com/CBNeuroscience Welcome to the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center. The CBN is an award-winning, interdisciplinary research consortium composed of more than 150 neuroscientists. The CBN celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2009, marking

the tremendous strides made by center members in research and education that will have lasting impact on the field of neuroscience for decades to come. Research: Our researchers use cutting-edge techniques from brain imaging to molecular methods; they have identified a brain chemical that could have implications in treating autism; pioneered new methods to diagnose and treat post traumatic stress disorder; examined brain signaling systems related to obesity; and determined the genetic sequence of an antimicrobial protein found in the ink of a common sea slug -- a protein that could be used in the development of new products to prevent or kill damaging microbes and save the marine and healthcare industries billions of dollars each year. When evaluated by the National Science Foundation, the Center was found to be "a model for the ex*****on of science." Education: Through programs such as our Brain Camps for middle school, Institute on Neuroscience for high school, and BRAIN for undergraduates, we have created a unique pipeline approach to educating and training the next generation of neuroscientists. The National Science Foundation has lauded the Center's public education program as "truly impressive in bringing science to the people." History of the CBN: The Center for Behavioral Neuroscience was established in 1998 by a grant from the Robert W. In November 1999, the Center became one of the National Science Foundation's Science and Technology Centers and expanded to include seven institutions in Atlanta, Georgia (Georgia State University, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Morehouse School of Medicine, and the three schools in the Atlanta University Center: Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College) and other community partner organizations. The CBN's original scientific focus was the neuroscience of social behaviors in the areas of affiliation, aggression, fear and reproduction and the emotional and regulatory processes that underlie them. In the intervening years, inclusion of additional behavioral neuroscientists at the participating institutions resulted in an expansion of the CBN's activities into the areas of memory, cognition, reward functions of the brain and positive emotional states. That process continues today as the CBN responds to the changing landscape of neuroscience and the evolving needs of its member institutions.

The Center for Behavioral Neuroscience came to Friday and taught students in grades 4-7 all about brains. After students learned about brain anatomy, they designed the brain of a mythical or real animal using Play-Doh. The students learned a lot while having fun! They will return to campus to work with our grades 8-12 students in October.

Day 2 of National Brain Bee and now in the final session! Our two Atlanta Brain Bee competitors have shown great focus and perseverance during these two days of online competition.

At 3:30 PM (eastern time) we will join the virtual awards ceremony from Rm 124 here in the Petit Science Center at Georgia State University when we will catch the buzz on who will be named 2020 and 2021 US Brain Bee champions!

USA Brain Bee Championship - HAPPENING NOW!

The Thirteenth and Fourteenth USA Brain Bee Championships are being held virtually April 10 -11, 2021 at the Northeast Ohio Medical University in Rootstown, OH.

The USA Brain Bee is a neuroscience competition for teenagers, ages 13 to 19 years of age. It is an officially sanctioned Regional Brain Bee of the International Brain Bee. The USA Championship Coordinator from Northeast Ohio Medical University is Dr. Dana Peterson, Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology. The Founder of the International Brain Bee and The National Director of the USA Brain Bee is Dr. Norbert Myslinski, Department of Neural and Pain Sciences, University of Maryland, Baltimore.

The 2020 and 2021 winners from about 60 Chapter competitions in 36 states will be competing to test their knowledge of the human brain including such topics as intelligence, emotions, memory, sleep, vision, hearing, sensations, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, addictions and brain research. The competition involves five subtests: a neuroanatomy practical, brain imaging, patient diagnosis, clinical applications, and a written. The event will be streamed live via Zoom with a live award ceremony on Sunday afternoon.

The 2020 and 2021 USA Champions will then represent the United States in the 2021 World Championship that will be held this Fall. Currently, there are about 250 Brain Bee Chapters in about 50 countries on 6 continents.

Dr. Norbert Myslinski founded the International Brain Bee twenty-three years ago and says “Its purpose is to motivate young students to learn about the human brain and inspire them to seek careers in the basic and clinical neurosciences to help treat and find cures for brain disorders. We build better brains to fight brain disorders.”
