Accelerate Discoveries: Support the Center for Neuroscience this Give Day!

Unlocking the mysteries of the mind and brain is both a pivotal scientific endeavor and a pressing human challenge. For more than 30 years, the Center for Neuroscience has been at the frontier of this pursuit. Our interdisciplinary teams of scientists drive innovation, investigating every aspect of the nervous system from genes to behavior and through all stages of life. We work tirelessly to reveal the remarkable complexity of the brain, advance new treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, and transform next generation technologies to improve lives. With mental illness affecting one in five Americans and millions grappling with neurological conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and addiction, the time to bolster the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience is now.

Unsure where to give? Find your passion from our Give Day challenges or donate to the CNS General Support Fund to help address immediate needs and create new and improved opportunities for the Center’s faculty, students and programs.

Your gift, no matter the amount, directly impacts our mission. By supporting the Center for Neuroscience, you ignite deeper inquiry, propel innovation, inspire the next generation of neuroscientists and shape the future of brain health.

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