Page 9 - Establishing the Institute for Brain and Neural Sciences

•6Center for Research on the Aging Brain
How does the brain transform in the aging process? Can this process be halted or reversed?
•7Center for
Research on Neurodegeneration
What are the causes
and trajectories of neurodegenerative diseases? What are the earliest hallmarks we can identify? How can we prevent, delay, or even cure these diseases?
•8Center for Research on Injury and Regeneration
Why is the nervous system slow to recover? How can we harness our knowledge of neurodevelopment to repair damage to the brain and spinal cord?
•9Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience
How do we unravel the basic principles of nerve cell communication and crack the underlying neural code?
•10Center for the Development of Innovative Neurotechnologies
What new technologies will accelerate the pace of neuroscience discovery?
