Webinar: Keynote Presentations: Current and Future Directions of the NIH BRAIN Initiative

Webinar Abstract: The increasing burden of neurological disorders as our population ages, together with the high personal and societal costs of mental and substance use disorders, underscores the need for new ways to intervene and deepen our knowledge of the human brain in health and disease. Not enough is known about the billions of brain cells—that communicate via trillions of synapses to make up the circuitry—that enable us to perceive, think, feel, and act. Launched in 2013, the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN)® Initiative supports research revealing how the brain works, by developing novel tools and applying innovate techniques to precisely map and observe brain circuits. Building on initial successes, and as outlined in the BRAIN 2.0 ACD report, in its second phase, the BRAIN Initiative will invest in large-scale projects that will transform the landscape and potential for neuroscience research.
