Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute
@zuckermanbrain.bsky.social
Created by @columbiauniversity.bsky.social to be the world's foremost neuroscience institute, we are deciphering the brain — how it develops, works, endures and recovers.
This Valentine’s week, find out what fighting fish and jazz soloists have in common. 🐟🎷❤️
Next Thursday, 02/12, join us for Music on the Brain: The Dance Before the Embrace, an evening of live jazz and brain science at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s #ColumbiaGivingDay. Your support allows us to maintain and expand important neuroscience research at a critical time. The funding raised from Giving Day will directly fuel our mission and the talented people who make it possible.
Today is #ColumbiaGivingDay! In a rapidly changing world, with shifts and uncertainty in research funding, it is now more important than ever to invest and support basic science and the talented people that make it happen.
