Long-term memory systems and the human brain

记忆障碍是人类大脑疾病的普遍特征。更好地了解大脑中的记忆过程是开发更好的检测和监测疾病进展的测试以及为后天脑损伤患者应用改进的康复方法的关键。该项目将为国家记忆障碍研究中心的发展提供催化剂，该中心将成为多学科认知神经科学研究的重点。最终目标将是将基础神经科学转化为影响老龄化人口健康结果的有效工具。

Impairment of memory is a ubiquitous feature of human brain disease. A better understanding of memory processing in the brain is key to the development of better tests for the detection and monitoring of disease progression as well as the application of improved methods of rehabilitation for patients with acquired brain injury. This project will provide the catalyst for the development of a National Memory Disorders Research Centre that would be the focus for multidisciplinary cognitive neuroscience research. The ultimate aim would be the translation of basic neuroscience into effective tools that will impact the health outcome of the ageing population.
