Where Discovery Comes to Mind
The Florida Atlantic Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute supports research, education and community outreach, with efforts spanning all of the Florida Atlantic campuses. The Brain Institute administrative home is on the Florida Atlantic MacArthur campus in Jupiter, Fla., which also houses the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience and The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation and Technology.
With more than 100 neuroscience faculty-level investigators located at Florida Atlantic and affiliate research centers, the Brain Institute supports state-of-the-art research and innovative educational activities and is the sponsor for the Florida Atlantic Neuroscience Student Organization.
Collectively, we seek to unlock the secrets of brain development, function and plasticity and how the mechanisms uncovered can be compromised to drive brain disorders, such as autism,, schizophrenia, depression and Alzheimer鈥檚 disease.
The Future of Brain Science & Education Depends on You.

SNBI Outreach Director Shares Perspective on Mental Health for School Health Professionals
In May, Nicole Baganz, Ph.D., spoke at the Florida School Health Association's annual conference. "Through a Neuroscientist鈥檚 Eyes: Rethinking Brain Health and Mental Illness,鈥 explored how mental illness is often discussed in terms of diagnosis, behavior and crisis response but doesn't address what is happening in the brain beneath the surface.
Post-doctoral fellow Aly Paz, PhD, delivered an invited public lecture at Jupiter Medical Center on the neuroscience of meditation. The talk explored how meditation affects the brain and highlighted research on its benefits.
The NeuroSquad brought neuroscience to The Gardens Mall this month with a pop-up Brain Sparks event. Shoppers of all ages crafted neurons, designed egg helmets to learn about brain safety, explored brain activity through EEG games, and dressed up as future neuroscientists at the Dress Like a Neuroscientist booth.
麻豆女郎 Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute recently hosted the National Association of University Women鈥檚 Tech Trek summer neuroscience course. Throughout the program, campers explored the brain through hands-on activities, including molecular biology techniques, brain dissections and interactive lessons on how the brain works.
