On Monday, September 16th, 2013, NIH Director Francis Collins approved the NIH BRAIN Working Group's nine priority research areas:
� Generate a census of cell types
� Create structural maps of the brain
� Develop new large-scale network recording capabilities
� Develop a suite of tools for circuit manipulation
� Link neuronal activity to behavior
� Integrate theory, modeling, statistics, and computation with experimentation
� Delineate mechanisms underlying human imaging technologies
� Create mechanisms to enable collection of human data
� Disseminate knowledge and training
Please see the below documents for additional information about the Working Group's report.
We anticipate that NIH BRAIN funding opportunity announcements will be released over the next few months. We look forward to tracking and disseminating all funding opportunities related to the BRAIN Initiative.
