Our Centers at Work

BHI’s centers are at the heart of our mission to advance brain health research. Each center focuses on a critical area of neuroscience, from understanding Alzheimer’s to pioneering autism interventions and harnessing advanced brain imaging technologies. Together, these centers drive collaborative research that transforms our understanding of the brain and leads to innovative treatments for complex neurological and mental health disorders.

Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer’s Research Center

This center is at the forefront of research on Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. By studying the biological underpinnings of these disorders, the center aims to discover novel treatments and improve patient outcomes.

Rutgers Addiction Research Center (RARC)

RARC leads interdisciplinary research into the causes and treatment of addiction, utilizing behavioral science, neuroscience, and mental health studies to explore solutions that tackle addiction from multiple angles.

Center for Autism Research, Education & Services (RUCARES)

RUCARES focuses on autism research, emphasizing early detection, intervention, and education. The center strives to improve the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families by integrating services with groundbreaking research.

Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research (CAHBIR)

CAHBIR is dedicated to advancing the field of human brain imaging. The center provides researchers with access to state-of-the-art imaging technologies, enhancing our understanding of neural function and structure.

Center for Computational Cognitive Neuro-Psychiatry (CCNP)

CCNP utilizes computational models to understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders. By bridging computational neuroscience and psychiatry, the center aims to develop predictive models for mental health outcomes.
