The Weill Medical College of Cornell University has a long tradition of neuroscience research. The faculty is large, and the research programs tackle the fundamental questions in the field at all levels - from genes to cells to systems to behavior.

The neuroscience community at Weill Cornell spans two campuses. The main one, containing the medical school and associated hospitals, is located on the upper east side of Manhattan, adjacent to Rockefeller University and across the street from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The second campus, with the rapidly growing Burke-Cornell Research Institute, is located in White Plains.

This website serves as a portal to all neuroscience research at Weill Cornell, including the list of faculty for both campuses, the graduate programs, the institutes, the clinical centers, and the latest news and events. Since many of the graduate programs and training grants are joint programs with Cornell/Ithaca, Rockefeller and Memorial Sloan Kettering, links to neuroscience at these institutions are also provided.
