Neurons begin changing their connections almost immediately when you learn something new —neuroplasticity isn't slow, it's happening in real time. These rapid changes help your brain adapt, strengthen skills, and store new information efficiently, showing how dynamic learning is!

Mandy has been a driving force at Branch Out—helping secure one of our largest donations, leading our Scientific Review Panel, and advancing bold neuroCAM research. Their passion for funding projects others may not pursue has helped take our mission to new heights.

In one week, applications open for our Graduate Student Research Grants. These one-year awards provide $22,000 in funding to support innovative neuroscience research that aligns with our neuroCAM framework — exploring complementary and alternative approaches to brain health.

Over the past two years, Kim has been an invaluable part of our team, bringing energy, creativity, and intention to everything she does — from Your Brain on Art to telling the stories behind the neuroscience we fund, she has contributed significantly to Branch Out’s growth.

Thank you to everyone who applied for our Summer Undergraduate Grants! We’re excited to review your applications and learn more about your research. Please mark your calendars — successful candidates will be announced on April 1, 2026, on our website. #neurogrants #branchoutnf
