Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior takes brain neural science as the core, and expands research to human daily behavior rules, emotional changes and social interaction characteristics.

It reveals the internal connection between brain neural activity and individual behavior, explores the neural causes of mental and behavioral disorders, and provides theoretical basis for behavioral intervention and mental health adjustment.
The institute connects basic brain science research with social psychology, clinical psychology and other disciplines, builds a multi-dimensional brain and behavior research system, and promotes the popularization and application of brain science research results in social life.
