The Center for BrainHealth
Founded in 1999, the UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth is a world class, forward-thinking research and treatment institute focused on brain health rather than only identifying disorders– a disease-based approach. This innovative approach is validated by the Center’s ability to attract renowned brain scientists from all over the country, including Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, Harvard, Stanford, the Beckman Institute, the National Institutes of Health and the Technion Institute in Israel. Having recently moved into a new and larger facility, we have grown from 25 to 86 brain scientists and clinicians in approximately one year. The cause of brain health reaches across all ages, ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic status.
Location
The Center is conveniently located in the heart of Dallas, just 1 mile west of Love Field Airport. It sits on a beautiful 3.5 acre tree-filled lot, and serves as the gateway to the medical community.

Mission
Understanding, Protecting and Healing the Brain
- Understanding the brain’s ability to restore or protect healthy brain function
- Protecting the brain from unnecessary mental decline
- Healing the brain through treatments that regenerate brain function
UTD Center for BrainHealth is a one-of-a-kind research institute for 4 reasons:
- Clinicians and researchers work side by side
- Focus horizontally across all brain diseases and injuries rather than taking a “silo” approach
- Research focuses on a lifespan approach from childhood to late life
- Picks up where traditional treatment leaves off with long-term follow up (typically patients are followed for 1 year, the Center follows long-term)
Current research studies include:
ADHD, Traumatic Brain Injury, Strategic Learning, Social Cognition, Healthy Brain Aging, Alzheimer’s, Autism, Gulf War Syndrome, Depression, Stroke, Educational Reasoning, Brain-Drug Impact, Hormones, Schizophrenia, Dementia, and Sports Injury
