New centre on brain-research to open in Bergen
The University of Bergen and NTNU have joined forces to establish a new research-centre on the brain. On Wednesday October 13th, the centre will officially open in Bergen.
Main content
A main goal of the聽collaboration is to identify the core principles for the plasticity of the brain and the dynamics of the neural circuits in the brain.聽
By doing this, researchers want to聽bring advanced brain research forward and in that way contribute to better treatmet of聽brain diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.聽
The centre聽will be led by Professor Clive R. Bramham at 幸运飞艇计划 and Professor Edvard I. Moser at the Kavli Institute / NTNU.
鈥� Understanding the brain is one of the biggest challenges in science today, also considering that one in three Europeans will have a brain-related problem or disease during their lifetime, Bramham and Moser say.
In addition to Clive Bramham and Edvard I. Moser, the following participate as leaders for various parts of the project: Espen Hartveit, 幸运飞艇计划, Cliff Kentros, NTNU, May-Britt Moser, NTNU, Giulia Quattrocolo, NTNU and Menno Witter, NTNU.
The Trond Mohn Foundation supports the initiative with NOK 25 million, and the host institutions with a total of NOK 30 million.
The opening is open to everyone and takes place in the auditorium, BBB-bygget (Bygg for biologiske basalfag),聽at Haukeland聽on聽October 13.聽
