Today is #GivingTuesday! It’s a global day of giving, and together we have the power to fuel the nation’s most innovative neuroscience research. But we can’t do this without you. Government funding for critical brain research is shrinking: 🟢 The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke's budget is down 4.4% from last year. 🟢 This includes a $278 million cut to the NIH BRAIN Initiative. That’s why private funding is more crucial than ever. With your support, we can continue our 71-year mission of empowering the brightest scientists who are pushing the boundaries of neuroscience. Please give today: https://lnkd.in/egdY7As4 Together, we can drive discoveries, find treatments, and work towards cures for all brain disorders. Thank you for being part of the Brain Research Foundation community. Let’s make a difference.

The BRAIN Initiative lost $278 million in funding from the 2023 to the 2024 fiscal year budget. The program kept ongoing grants funded, but multiple new opportunities were canceled or terminated in May. Now more than ever it's crucial to fund basic neuroscience so that we don't lose ground before seeing success. Please remember us this year when it's Giving Tuesday or for your year-end giving! #neuroscience #brain #basicscience #BRAINinitiative #research

True or False: The human brain has more neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way? False – but both numbers are equally mind-blowing! The Milky Way contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, though the exact number is hard to pinpoint. In comparison, the human brain holds about 86 billion neurons. Still pretty incredible, right? Each neuron connects with thousands of others, creating an intricate network that drives everything we think, feel, and do. We’re only just scratching the surface of understanding this complexity. At the Brain Research Foundation, we fund vital research to uncover the brain's mysteries, paving the way for revolutionary treatments and better brain health for all.
