About Us

E/I Balance is a community blog on mental health research, set up by the Conte Center at Harvard University. Funded by National Institute of Mental Health, the Conte Center is dedicated to basic neuroscience research that probes the origins of mental illness.

In collaboration with the Center for Brain Science, the Conte Center is debuting a monthly, interdisciplinary lecture series called the Conte-CBS Colloquia on Mental Health. We hope this blog can serve as a place where people who attend these talks share their thoughts, ideas, questions or research findings with each other.
