[00:00:04.290]On game day, fans watch the action
[00:00:06.107]on the field at Memorial Stadium, but behind the scenes...
[00:00:10.540]This is the MRI scanner room, the control room.
[00:00:12.830]Cary Savage is director
[00:00:13.982]of the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior
[00:00:16.970]at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
[00:00:19.150]CB3 is a unique facility dedicated to understanding
[00:00:23.220]the brain and its impact on human behavior.
[00:00:26.620]So we have a 30,000-square-foot, full-functioning
[00:00:28.865]neuroimaging center and salivary biosciences capabilities
[00:00:33.560]built into the stadium.
[00:00:34.870]There's no place else like that.
[00:00:35.940]So we have the physical proximity,
[00:00:37.980]but even more importantly,

[00:00:52.230]to learning how the brain influences political beliefs.
[00:00:55.890]There is nothing else like this in the world.
[00:00:58.900]Starting with our physical relationship with Athletics,
[00:01:01.230]and the partnership with Athletics,
[00:01:02.580]the scientific partnership with Athletics,
[00:01:04.590]diversity of the research that's going on here,
[00:01:06.980]the diversity of our technology that we have access to,
[00:01:09.610]the absolute cutting edge.
[00:01:11.210]On this edition of "Faculty 101,"
[00:01:13.310]Dr. Savage takes us on a tour of CB3 and tells us
[00:01:16.900]why it's important to understand the complex organ
