IMPACT CAMPUS November arts events include dance, music, theater and more With over 50 arts events scheduled at Emory in November, there is a lot to be thankful for this month.

RESEARCH Study gives new insight into how the brain perceives places A new study shows that the brain has two distinct systems for how it perceives our environment: one for recognizing a place and another for navigating through it.

INNOVATION Center for Neuro-dysfunction and Inflammation focuses on expanding field of neuroimmunology Emory is forming a new center for the study of brain inflammation, a critical mechanism in several chronic diseases of the nervous system and neurodegenerative diseases.
