Brain Health Research Institute Grand Opening

Brain Health Research Institute Grand OpeningThe Brain Health Research Institute celebrated the grand opening of its new lab spaces in November 2021 with an afternoon of activities that included a keynote presentation by cognitive neuroscientist Earl Miller, BA ’85, PhD, a dedication of the space, tours and student research demonstrations.
Located on the lower level of the Integrated Sciences Building on the Kent Campus, the new space features interdisciplinary research facilities called “collaboratories.” With state-of-the-art equipment and flexible lab space, the institute’s collaboratories enable researchers from diverse disciplines to bring their collective talents to bear on important unresolved questions about the brain and brain diseases.
            The institute is a nationally recognized effort that taps passionate faculty and staff from across the university—not just in science-based departments—to work together as they solve brain-related challenges. Research topics include how hearing and listening change across childhood, reprogramming the brain with exercise, recovery from chronic spinal cord injury, new treatments for common forms of infertility, the effects of poetry on brain health and many more.
