OneNeuro Initiative
Understanding how the brain gives rise to the mind is the most compelling mystery of our time. The OneNeuro Initiative aims to build a university-wide neuroscience community to unite, promote collaboration, and engage the diverse minds and vast resources at Johns Hopkins University to understand the brain – from molecules to mind.
The ambitious goal of the OneNeuro Initiative is nothing short of a complete understanding of the brain – the full arc – from molecules to the mind.
Deciphering the workings of the brain, from molecules to mind, will require unprecedented collaboration between disciplines, from neuroscience, engineering, computer science, neurology, psychiatry, cognitive and psychological science, and philosophy.
Johns Hopkins University has an extensive neuroscience community that spans schools and departments and encompasses all of the disciplines required to accomplish this goal. Over a thousand faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students participate in neuroscience-related research at the molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral, computational, and clinical levels. The OneNeuro Initiative will work closely with the Johns Hopkins Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Initiative and with the newly formed Data Science and AI Institute, which is recruiting 110 new faculty, including faculty who use AI to study the brain and mind.
