Brain disorders touch nearly every family. At the Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI), more than 300 labs are working to change that—advancing research on autism, addiction, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, brain injury, and other brain and nervous system disorders, while training the next generation of scientists and clinicians. Today is Giving Tuesday. As you think about the missions you want to stand behind, we invite you to learn more about how BHI is bringing together hundreds of scientists around one shared focus: brain health. If you are able, please consider supporting this work today or as part of your year-end giving.

Hundreds of scientists. One focus: brain health. At the Rutgers Brain Health Institute (BHI), researchers across 300+ labs are working to better understand, prevent, and treat brain disorders—from autism and addiction to Alzheimer’s disease and brain injury. Our vision is simple and ambitious: to advance brain health through cutting-edge research, training, and innovation. Tomorrow—Tuesday, December 2—we will join the global Giving Tuesday movement. As you think about the causes and institutions that matter to you, we invite you to learn more about how BHI is strengthening neuroscience and brain health at Rutgers University and beyond. Every discovery begins with a decision to give. If you are planning your Giving Tuesday or year-end philanthropy, please consider supporting this work.

Social interaction is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health — but the biological mechanisms behind that connection are only beginning to be understood. In this Speaker Spotlight, Dr. Ioana Carcea, Assistant Professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Core Member of the Rutgers Brain Health Institute, shares how her lab investigates the mechanistic links between social isolation, physiological health, and glucose regulation. Her symposium talk, “Mechanistic Links Between Social Isolation and Glucose Homeostasis,” explores bidirectional signaling between the brain and body, revealing how social experience can directly reshape metabolic function. Hear Dr. Carcea’s full presentation at the 11th Annual Rutgers Brain Health Institute Symposium on December 3, 2025.

Obesity is often framed as a matter of willpower — but the brain tells a far more complex story. In this Speaker Spotlight, Dr. Miriam Bocarsly, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Neuroscience at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Core Member of the Rutgers Brain Health Institute, explains how her research uncovers the neural pathways that link food reward, motivation, metabolism, and long-term health. Her symposium talk, “Brain Insulin Signaling Rescues Striatal Dopamine Deficits in Overweight Mice,” explores how obesity reshapes the brain’s reward circuitry and how insulin signaling may offer a path to restoring healthy behavior.
