Mental health is brain health. Our faculty investigates the neural roots of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more—advancing science to shape smarter, more effective treatments and improve lives. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

After an ischemic stroke, astrocytes—the brain’s support cells—can help or harm. They control inflammation, form protective scars, and influence how well brain cells reconnect, making them key players in recovery. 🔗 neuroscience.ufl.edu/research/neura…

🧠 Welcome, summer interns! We’re thrilled to kick off the 2025 UF Summer Neuroscience Internship Program (SNIP) with a brilliant group of future neuroscientists. Get ready for a summer of hands-on research, big ideas, and brainy discoveries!

May is #ALSAwarenessMonth. ALS mainly affects motor neurons, but early problems in support cells like astrocytes and microglia may speed up the disease. Researchers are working to understand how these cells shape progression and how they might be targeted in treatment.

Join the NMPT and BREATHE Training Programs for the first #NeuroNines of the season this Thurs, May 22, at 9 am. This session will feature BREATHE T32 alum Alyssa Mickle, Yuan Li, and Raghuveer Chandrashekhar. Join us live in the Communicore Building (C1-003). 👇

#NeuroNines is back! This summer's first session featured BREATHE T32 alum/PhD candidate Alyssa Mickle (mentor: Erica Dale - Lablyfe) and PhD candidates Yuan Li & Raghuveer Chandrashekhar (mentor: Dr. Hongwu Wang). 👏👥

UF’s Department of Neuroscience traces back to a 1966 NIH training grant that birthed the Center for Neurobiological Sciences. By 1970, we were one of the first #neuroscience departments in the U.S. Explore our history: neuroscience.ufl.edu/about/history

Anxiety disorders are linked to an overactive amygdala—our brain's fear center—and weaker connections to the prefrontal cortex, which helps regulate it. This may explain why anxious brains stay stuck in "threat mode." Discover our resources and programs: coard.psychiatry.ufl.edu

June is Alzheimer’s and #BrainAwarenessMonth. Alzheimer's pathology often begins decades before symptoms appear—long before memory loss, the brain is fighting a silent battle. #EndAlz

It’s #WorldBrainTumorDay. UF Neuroscience researchers are advancing precision treatments for glioblastoma and other brain tumors, aiming to outsmart one of medicine’s toughest challenges.

In Alzheimer’s disease, synaptic dysfunction—not neuron death—may drive early cognitive decline. Targeting synapse resilience could open doors to new therapies. #BrainAwarenessMonth #EndAlz

🧠 June is National Migraine & Headache Awareness Month. Migraine isn't just a headache—it's a complex neurological disease involving abnormal sensory processing across multiple brain networks. Learn more from #UFNeuro. #MHAM

Meet Dr. Jennifer Bizon, Chair of UF Neuroscience! Her lab investigates how aging affects cognition and brain circuitry with the goal of preserving brain health across the lifespan. Learn more: neuroscience.ufl.edu/profile/bizon-…

Migraine aura is linked to cortical spreading depression—a slow-moving wave of electrical changes in brain cells that travels across the cortex, disrupting normal function as it goes. #MHAM
