Unravelling the sub-nuclear complexity of the brain.

了解大脑的功能是科学研究的一个重要前沿。增加大脑功能知识的能力依赖于新方法的发展。这一应用将为理解特定神经细胞的功能提供一种新的方法。一个结果将是证明一种有益于所有大脑研究人员的新方法的适用性。另一个结果将是增加对一个已知有助于心血管疾病发展的大脑区域的了解。预计对脑功能的了解的增加将导致新的脑疾病理论和治疗策略。

Understanding the function of the brain is a major frontier of scientific research. The ability to increase knowledge of brain function is reliant upon the development of novel methods. This application will develop a novel approach for understanding the function of particular nerve cells. One outcome will be demonstration of the applicability of a novel method of benefit to all brain researchers. Another outcome will be increased understanding of one brain region that is known to contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. It is expected that increased knowledge of brain function will lead to novel theories of brain disease and therapeutic strategies.
