Our brain, spinal cord and nerves shape virtually every aspect of our lives—how we think, move, learn, connect and perform.
When the nervous system is affected by disease, injury or mental illness, the consequences can be profound. But neuroscience is also about understanding how the brain learns, adapts, recovers and performs at its best.
At the University of Alberta, the NMHI brings together researchers from across disciplines to tackle both: preventing and treating disease while advancing brain health, resilience, recovery and human performance.
NMHI creates connections between talented researchers fostering collaboration and provides critical research funding to accelerate discovery of better treatments and real-world impact.
The possibilities are enormous: slowing neurological disease, improving mental health, enhancing recovery, maintaining cognitive function as we age, and better understanding human potential.
