SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Billionaire philanthropists Joan and Sandy Weill announced Tuesday they are donating $106 million to launch a research initiative at three West Coast universities aimed at finding treatments for brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease.

The donation to the University of California, San Francisco, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Washington will go toward a "neurohub" that will bring together data-driven and engineering work done at the three institutions, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
