IES Brain Research Foundation is holding their Fifth Anniversary Gala Dinner November 4^th honoring Bruce McEwen, PhD author of “The End of Stress as We Know it”.  Dr. McEwen will speak about “Stress, Aging & the Brain- the Good and the Not-So-Good.” The proceeds go towards hastening treatments and cures for serious brain diseases and conditions and towards student summer fellowships that attract bright, motivated students to the field of neuroscience, who can carry on this important research.   

This summer, the IES Brain Research Foundation’s 8 student fellows worked with their outstanding neuroscientist mentors on: epilepsy, drug addiction, long term memory, stroke, antidepressants, schizophrenia, autism and brain cancer. There have been some exciting results from their research, especially on brain cancer.
