The Neurosciences Institute is a nonprofit research institute that is focused upon "high risk - high payoff" research designed to discover the biological basis of higher-brain function in humans and other animals. NSI was founded in 1981 by Nobel laureate Gerald Edelman in New York City. In 1993 it moved cross country to La Jolla, California, and in 1995 into a newly designed headquarters building in San Diego.

The NSI is across the street from The Scripps Research Institute and its biologically-oriented faculty are crosslisted as the neurobiology department at TSRI.
