Center for Neuroscience
Support the Center for Neuroscience this Give Day!

Unlocking the mysteries of the mind and brain is one of science’s most significant frontiers and one of humanity’s greatest challenges. 

As one of the first interdisciplinary research centers of its kind in the U.S. and the first at UC Davis, the Center for Neuroscience has been a leader in neuroscience research innovation and excellence for the past 30 years. Our world-class faculty and trainees are conducting cutting-edge research at all levels of the nervous system, from genes to behavior and through all stages of life, to reveal the remarkable complexity of the brain, advance new treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, and transform next generation technologies to improve lives.

This Give Day, each gift moves us one step closer to unlocking 8 challenge gifts, totaling $104,500 from our generous sponsors. Find your passion from the funds listed when you donate or give to the CNS General Support Fund to help drive deeper inquiry, fuel innovation and create new and improved opportunities for the Center's faculty, students and programs.

Your gift – no matter the amount – creates a positive and meaningful impact. When you support the Center for Neuroscience, you help advance innovative discoveries, inspire and train the next generation of neuroscientists, and provide outreach programs, such as NeuroFest and K-12 brain science education to the greater Davis/Sacramento community and beyond.

Join our generous supporters and make a gift to the Center for Neuroscience today!
