Contributing to the interdisciplinary approach in teaching and research at the University of California at Davis [UC Davis] Center for Neuroscience are Center faculty members, students, and collaborators who represent 13 academic departments and sections on the main campus and a number of other sites. These sites include the California Regional Primate Research Center, UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, the Veterans Administration Health Care System Outpatient Clinic in Martinez, other hospitals in northern California, and other universities worldwide.

Research at the Center is diverse, covering the major sub-disciplines and techniques in neuroscience and ranges from cellular and molecular neurobiology through systems and developmental neuroscience to studies of human perception, attention, memory, language, and the nature of consciousness. The Center places special emphasis on sensory physiology, on the molecular-genetic basis of neuronal function and its development, on the search for genetic markers in psychiatric diseases, in addition combining information obtained from different brain-imaging techniques, including fMRI, and ERPs, for the study of human cognition and the development of improved methods to treat brain injury and disease.

Regional Outreach and Telehealth was launched in 1996. The Center for Health and Technology was established in 2000. The Center provides the expertise of the UC Davis Health System to doctors and patients outside of the Sacramento area without their having to travel to the medical center.

Currently, the Center for Health and Technology offers programs in:

• Health Informatics
• Distance Education
• Outreach Programs
• The Telehealth Learning Center (established in 1999)
• The Telemedicine Program

The telemedicine program includes:

• Virtual Reality Training
• Home Health
• Teleradiology
• Acute Care
• Remote Monitoring
• Family Link

and covers many telemedicine specialties.

The College of Biological Sciences of the University of California at Davis [UC Davis] was founded in 1970 as the Division of Biological Sciences and reconstituted in 2005. It has a faculty of 130, a staff of 400 and 527 graduate students as well as 5,592 undergraduates.

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences offers a full complement of diagnostic, psychotherapy and drug therapy services for children and adults experiencing behavioral and psychological problems, including substance abuse.

Specialized programs include cognitive-behavioral, group, family and couple psychotherapy. Evaluations are often multidisciplinary and may include psychiatric assessment, psychological testing, family or educational assessment, speech and language evaluation, or complete medical assessment.

Psychiatry faculty members engage in a wide variety of research programs, including inquiries into clinical processes; the causes, cures and neuropsychology of major psychiatric disorders; quality of care; medical education; and child and forensic psychiatry. Other topics under investigation include the nature and process of psychotherapy and ways in which "telemedicine" electronic telecommunications networks can be used to extend psychiatric care to rural and constrained patients.

The University of California at Davis [UC Davis] MIND Institute (Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders) is an international, multidisciplinary research organization striving to understand the causes and develop better treatments and ultimately cures for neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, fragile X syndrome and learning disorders.

Research studies are currently under way for children with autism, fragile X syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Down's syndrome, Tourette syndrome and other disorders that can prevent children from living lives of normalcy and independence.

The National Research Center on Asian American Mental Health [NRCAAMH] was established in 1988 with a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health. NRCAAMH prides itself as a national and multidisciplinary leader in the study of Asian Pacific American mental health research.

Historically, attention to Asian Pacific American concerns in the delivery of mental health care has been minimal. NRCAAMH was founded out of a need for programmatic research devoted to Asian Pacific American mental health concerns. The Center aims to contribute theoretical and applied research that will have a valuable impact on mental health policy and service delivery to Asian Pacific Americans.

The Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory [CNLM], founded in 1981, is the only research institute in the world dedicated exclusively to the multidisciplinary investigation of the basic brain mechanisms responsible for learning and memory. Learning and memory constitute the fundamental processes of experience and provide the substrates for cognition and adaptive behavior.

The Center for Research on Information Technology and Organizations [CRITO] is a "think tank" that studies the impact of information technology on organizations and society. Researchers focus on the management of Information Technology [IT], the IT-enabled enterprise, technology-intensive user environments, and the increasingly global nature of IT use and production.

The Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences is a specialized research center to facilitate interaction and common research goals among scientists whose purpose is to precisely formulate and test theories of human behavior.

The mission of the School of Biological Sciences of the University of Califrnia Irvine is to create new knowledge about biological processes and principles, and to disseminate this knowledge by educating and mentoring undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral trainees about both the factual knowledge and the experience of discovery in biology.
