As we enter the 21st century, we are poised on the threshold of an era of exponentially growing discoveries about human brain and behavior, and the potential for therapies and cures of neurological diseases. The mission of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute include:
- Building bridges across traditional academic boundaries spanning from genes and molecules to brain and behavior.
- Training graduate students at this interface as a means of preparing them to become future leaders in neuroscience research.
- Harnessing the creative energy of physical scientists to fuel technology innovations and paradigm shifts in brain studies.
- Using this synergy to build the most advanced technologies in the Brain Imaging, Molecular Imaging, and Neurogenomics Centers.
- Translating discoveries in neuroscience from basic research to human health.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
