FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain

Institute Opens

Heralding A New Era In Neuroscience And
Education
Florida Atlantic University (FAU) celebrated the opening
of the FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute at FAU’s John D.
MacArthur Campus in Jupiter recently with a ribbon-cutting
ceremony. The official launch of the institute heralds a new
era in neuroscience research, education and community
engagement. The multimillion-dollar, 58,000-square-foot
facility will serve as a “beacon of hope” for the study and postdoctoral fellows. The first floor also offers a public theater-in-the-round-style performances or join community

The first floor of the FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute
is home to the Center for Brain Disease Modeling, a facility CompassSelfStorage.com (561) 556-2191
designed to develop and advance approaches to study brain
disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, autism, addiction and
brain cancer. The center will more than double FAU’s current
capacity for physiological and behavioral analyses. Activities
supported by the center draw from advanced behavioral
research infrastructure; noninvasive recording approaches to
map and activate brain circuits; tools to test the effects of early-
stage medications; and opportunities to evaluate the impact
of genetic and environmental changes on learning, memory,
addiction, anxiety and social behavior.
Within the Center for Brain Disease Modeling,
the Neurobehavioral Core Laboratory specializes in
neurobehavioral research while providing state-of-the-art
educational experiences for undergraduate, graduate and
