One experiment to rule them all!

Neuroscience is one of the most challenging fields of research. Although our understanding of the nervous system keeps growing exponentially, we still have much to learn, especially regarding the intricate interplay between all the different cell types involved in maintaining its homeostasis and counteracting the insults. Indeed, cell-to-cell communication between neurons, astrocytes, microglia, pericytes, endothelial cells and immune cells can significantly impact the nervous system biology, both in physiological and pathological conditions.

The BraYn Association will fund PhD students, post-docs, early-career principal investigators, neurology residents and neurologists to answer an experimental question with a focused research plan in the field of neuroscience, either to validate a hypothesis that concludes a story or to test a hypothesis being the base of a new story. The story and/or approach proposed should be highly innovative. Topics that may be covered are the following: Neuroimaging, Neuro/glia interaction, Neurodegeneration, Epilepsy, Neurodevelopment & Neurogenetics, Neuro-oncology, Neuroinflammation, Neurophysiology & Neural Plasticity, and Clinical Neuroscience. PhD students or Post-docs at a very early stage of their career from anywhere worldwide can apply.
