Collaboratories

CBN investigators are organized into interdisciplinary, multi-institutional research teams called collaboratories that build synergies among laboratories using different models, technologies and approaches. They include:

• Affiliation Collaboratory examines the neural mechanisms underlying affiliative behaviors, including pair/social bonding, approach, recognition and parental care.
• Aggression Collaboratory studies the common biological processes involved in fear and aggression and means to control them.
• Fear Collaboratory focuses on the neural mechanisms of fear learning and ways to control them.
• Memory and Cognition addresses broad questions about memory and cognition, particularly as they relate to social behavior.
• Reproduction Collaboratory investigates sexual behavior from the molecular to the system level among different animals.
