Florida Atlantic University’s Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute to Add New Research Center
Florida Atlantic University’s Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute (SNBI) received a grant from Palm Health Foundation for the development of the Center for the Resilient Mind. This pledge, in the form of a challenge grant, contributes to the Center’s $2.5 million launch goal.
The Center of the Resilient Mind will bring together neuroscientists, psychologists, clinicians, educators, social workers and artists to investigate the foundations of the resilient mind across the human lifespan. Researchers will investigate brain resiliency to stress and neurobehavioral disorders and explore opportunities to promote brain health through community engagement.
The Center will be the latest addition to the SNBI, which supports brain research and education across Florida Atlantic University’s campuses and in partnership with leading neuroscience research institutes. Current centers include the David and Lynn Nicholson Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, where scientists are investigating neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease to improve diagnosis and treatment, and the Center for the Future of AI, Mind & Society, where thought leaders in philosophy, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, political science, and other fields come together to analyze scientific, societal, and ethical issues.
