Currently, we have 26 faculty members, who are actively funded their research from various sources including the federal grants and philanthropic support. Our faculty and their laboratories utilize an interdisciplinary approach to research with the goal of understanding the normal function and disorders of the nervous system that may hold the key to developing novel therapies. We nurture an exceptionally collegial academic environment with high level of interaction and collaboration among laboratories in the Department and with other laboratories at UConn Health Center and at the UConn Storrs campus, all of which make the Department of Neuroscience a vibrant and dynamic place to do science.\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/health.uconn.edu\/neuroscience\/about-us\/history\/\" class=\"btn-primary\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-6212-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-6212-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_uc_events_calendar_widget uc-cw panel-first-child\" data-index=\"8\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Upcoming Events<\/h3><div class=\"uc-cal uc-iconcal\"><ol class=\"uc-cal-list\">                            <li class=\"uc-cal-item event-2255515\">\r\n                                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/events.uconn.edu\/neuroscience\/event\/2255515-neuroscience-journal-club-mitchell\" data-target=\"#ecpopup2255515-1\" data-toggle=\"modal\" id=\"2255515-1\" class=\"ecpopuplink uc-cal-event\">\r\n                                            <span class=\"uc-cal-event-date\"><abbr title=\"September\" class=\"uc-cal-event-month\">Sep<\/abbr>\r\n                                                <span class=\"uc-cal-event-day\">9<\/span><\/span>\r\n                                            <span class=\"uc-cal-event-title\"> Neuroscience Journal Club -
