Center for Brain, Behavior, and Cognition

Promoting interdisciplinary and integrative research across the life, social, neural, and computational sciences.

CBBC student travel award

The Center for Brain, Behavior, and Cognition (CBBC) at Penn State is pleased to announce a center-specific travel award for a student that will present their own research on integrative mechanisms of behavior or cognition at a national or international scientific conference. The goal is to support a Penn State student whose research aligns with the CBBC goals of understanding complex mechanisms underlying naturalistic behaviors and/or the integration of different methods and analytical approaches.

To apply, please send the following information to sac34@psu.edu:

(1) presentation title
(2) conference name, date, and location
(3) brief description of the research that you will present and how it addresses the integrative research goals of the CBBC (no more than 250 words)

Awardees and their presentation information will be highlighted on the CBBC website. Travel for the 2022-2023 fiscal year award must be completed before June 30, 2023. This award is available to graduate students at the Pennsylvania State University and is a supplement to other sources of funding for student research presentations at scientific conferences.

The Center for Brain, Behavior, and Cognition (CBBC) promotes cutting-edge research that quantifies and addresses the mechanisms underlying human and animal behaviors in complex, natural environments. Members of the CBBC investigate these mechanisms across a wide range of systems at different levels (e.g., molecular, cellular, and physiological) by using different methodological and analytical approaches (e.g., behavioral, imaging, and computational).

NSF CAREER Award: Understanding how the brain learns complex skills

Tarkeshwar Singh, associate professor of kinesiology in the Penn State College of Health and Human Development, has been awarded a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The five-year, $775,450 CAREER award will support Singh’s research on the interaction between cognition, decision-making and motor control to plan and coordinate complex movement sequences and skills.

Industrial noise may alter bluebird behavior but not cognitive ability

Scientists have long wondered whether loud, human-caused noise interferes with wild animals’ cognition — their ability to think and learn — by causing stress, distraction or making it harder for them to focus. The results of a novel study of Eastern bluebirds conducted by a team of researchers at Penn State suggests that, at least in some cases, short-term noise doesn’t affect them much.

Huck Institutes announces recipients of nine interdisciplinary seed grants

Penn State’s Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences has awarded nine research teams seed funding for 2026-27. These grants support high-impact, innovative research projects that align with the Huck’s strategic research priorities and have the potential to drive scientific breakthroughs and generate significant return on investment.

$2M NIH grant to support study of how the brain and body acclimate to stress

Experiencing stress leads to a suite of rapid physiological changes, and over time, the body can acclimate to the stress, eventually changing an individual’s baseline brain state. To improve understanding of the changes in the brain and body during acclimation to stress using a mouse model, the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences has awarded a five-year, $2 million grant to Grayson Sipe, assistant professor of biology in the Penn State Eberly College of Science.
