The VENTRICULAR FOUNDATION was founded by two professors from the University of California, Davis School of Medicine who have expertise in neuroanatomy and brain development. Members of the Foundation, including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and professors participate in outreach activities. Donations to the VENTRICULAR FOUNDATION make our outreach activities possible, and will fund student fellowships and international conferences about the brain.
