Neuropsychiatry is the branch of neuroscience focused on the unbreakable link between the brain’s physiological processes and the way humans think and function. Neuropsychiatry may hold the keys to improving how mental illness is diagnosed, treated and – ideally – prevented. The more the field of neuropsychiatry advances, the better society’s response will be to the problems of untreated mental illness.

As the only entity of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, the OHSU Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) aspires to excellence in teaching, research and service in neuropsychiatry, leading the way toward breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of diseases of the brain. NPI is committed to the pursuit of translational – or “bench-to-bedside” – research that accelerates the rate at which laboratory discoveries become practical treatments and cures in the clinical environment.

NPI is a component of the Department of Psychiatry within the OHSU School of Medicine. Through the power of partnerships with other OHSU departments and institutes involved in brain research, NPI will make significant contributions to this critical field.
