Center for Cognitive Neuroscience (Duke University)

The Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University is a research institution focused on understanding how the brain enables thinking, learning, memory, and decision-making. It combines insights from psychology, neuroscience, and related fields to study how different brain regions work together to produce complex mental functions. The center conducts experiments using brain imaging, behavioral tests, and other methods to explore the neural basis of cognition. Its goal is to advance scientific knowledge, improve treatments for brain disorders, and inform educational practices by revealing how the brain supports human thought and behavior.
