Welcome to our team...

The West Virginia University Center for Neuroscience supports broad-based research across 40 laboratories housed in modern research facilities. The mission of the Center is to advance knowledge in basic and translational neuroscience through team-based interdisciplinary research in the following focus areas: sensory, cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience; neural injury, including stroke; neurodegeneration; and neuropsychiatric diseases. The Center offers state-of-the-art technical capabilities and techniques such as genomics, non-linear optical microscopy, transgenic animal and microarray facilities, three-dimensional tissue analysis, and human neuroimaging using high field MRI and combined PET/CT imaging. These capabilities are supported by a CoBRE grant from the National Center for Research Resources/NIH as well as by institutional resources.
