Report summary

University of California, Irvine Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in 2015-2026 reads as a 62-PI network with 137 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Neuroscience as the leading field (38% of slots across 46 PIs; 46 labels), Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 23 PIs; 23 labels), and Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research as the leading topic (8% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 20 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Joshua D. Grill (49.7 weighted works; Ethics in Clinical Research, Health Systems, Economic Evaluations, Quality of Life). The strongest pairings are S. Ahmad Sajjadi and Claudia H. Kawas (57 shared works, weight 30). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 78.6, around Psychiatry and Mental health, Physiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, led by Joshua D. Grill, Michael A. Yassa, Craig E.L. Stark; group 2 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 46.5, around Neurology, Physiology, Immunology, led by Andrea J. Tenner, Kim N. Green, Frank M. LaFerla.
