Provide a brighter future for people touched by brain disease
Shape the future of brain research
It is estimated that one in five New Zealanders will experience brain disease during their lifetime. Neurological diseases are among the top five most common causes of death and long-term disability.
The Centre for Brain Research exists to find and develop new treatments for brain disease.
Your gift today will help New Zealand’s best and brightest scientists unravel the complexities of the brain.

Advance innovative research
Among the cutting-edge research now underway at the CBR are multiple projects analysing patient blood samples to find ‘markers’ of a disease. Just as a blood test might reveal your risk for high cholesterol or diabetes, it is hoped one day soon it could predict neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
Hope for those with rare brain disorders
New Zealand patients with rare neurogenetic conditions are among the first in the world to access international clinical trials thanks to the CBR’s Neurogenetics Research Clinic. More than 1300 people with rare brain disorders have joined the clinic’s registry to enable the study of rare conditions.
