The IOM Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders is holding this workshop focused on identifying Grand Challenges in Neuroscience.
The unifying theme for this workshop is the need to expand the understanding of how perception, cognition, and action arise in the human brain from interactions between molecules, chemicals, neurons, and circuits, the brain's fundamental building blocks.
Objectives:
- Illuminate the progress and successes made by the neuroscience community and highlight the challenges still facing the field.
- Identify the guiding principles, fundamental scientific questions, and goals that will inspire the scientific and public communities to support and engage this grand challenge.
- What will be the technology needs?Which disciplines will need to be engaged and what will be their training requirements?
- What partnerships need to be forged?
- Identify the infrastructure and resource requirements that will be necessary to advance and accelerate discovery, including:
- What will be the technology needs?
- Which disciplines will need to be engaged and what will be their training requirements?
- What partnerships need to be forged?
