Charting connectivity in the healthy and diseased brain

随着人口老龄化，澳大利亚的地方性心理健康负担预计将升级。该项目将：（1）赋予医学诊断能力，使大脑紊乱和精神疾病能够更早和更准确地诊断;（2）查明大脑回路的中断，以揭示特定疾病。这是世界上第一次，并为新一代疗法和治疗提供了科学基础。该项目将使澳大利亚研究员协会能够向澳大利亚研究人员传播2008年作为哈佛研究中心研究员获得的专业知识，从而提高澳大利亚在科学方面的国际地位。

Australia's endemic mental health burden is predicted to escalate as its population ages. This project will: (1) endow medicine with a diagnostic capability enabling earlier and more-accurate diagnosis of brain disorders and mental illnesses; and, (2) pinpoint brain circuit disruptions telltale of particular diseases. This is a world-first and promises a scientific basis for new-generation therapies and treatments. This project will enable the APD to disseminate the specialist knowledge acquired as an ARC Fellow at Harvard in 2008 to Australian researchers, thereby advancing Australia's international standing in science.
