The UCLA Brain Research Institute (BRI) is a catalyst for education, outreach, and research collaborations among current and future scientists, engineers and clinicians who seek to understand the healthy and diseased brain. The BRI is one of the first neuroscience research collectives established in the United States. Now with approximately 300 faculty members representing nearly 30 departments from 6 schools. The institute provides multiple financial, informational and operational resources to invigorate research programs and support collaborations bringing together investigators from disparate scientific fields. The BRI also co-ordinates a large portion of neuroscience educational programs on campus, and also works through its outreach programs to enrich scientific knowledge in the community by inspiring elementary and secondary school students to explore a scientific career.

MazeEngineers is a central hub for all things related to behavioral neuroscience. Founded by a group of Harvard trained Emergency Medicine physicians, they aim to put a spotlight on behavioral testing as a fundamentally important objective measure to help translate findings from the neuroscience bench to the bedside. The Resources hub answers questions as small as “should I change gloves between subject tests?” to important ones such as “How do I perform a Morris Water Maze test?” MazeEngineers collaborates with hundreds of institutions worldwide each year to merge classical behavioral tests with new technology and bring innovation and excitement to the world of behavioral science. 

A project where the brain mechanisms of dance are taught in a fun, engaging manner so that everyone can access and get the maximum benefits from dancing. Oftentimes, the focus in dance science and dance education is turned to the body, leaving behind it's connection to the mind and brain. Understanding the brain mechanisms in dance can improve performance, make classes more inclusive, prevent injury and optimize both learning and teaching. In the workshops the theory is delivered in a dynamic fashion, always applying it to practice, promoting embodied cognition and equipping dancers with easy-to-apply techniques. From this project a evidence-based dance healing tool that enhances all the healing properties of dance was born: the Dance Integrated Healing Method

Grey Matters is a neuroscience outreach organization founded by students at the University of Washington on the core belief that science education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of educational background. Each quarter, they publish a free, high-quality neuroscience journal that is written, edited, illustrated, and designed entirely by undergraduate students. For the past eight years, Grey Matters has been home to over 200 student publications spanning 17 journals. Grey Matters also hosts An Evening with Neuroscience, an annual event dedicated to fostering an exciting and inclusive space for neuroscience education for the general public. Grey Matters’ mission is to enhance public understanding of neuroscience, to encourage greater participation in the scientific community, and to develop skilled science communicators via collaborative publications.
