Unravelling the sub-nuclear complexity of the brain. [ 2010 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers A/Prof AM Allen; Prof WG Thomas; Dr DN Bowser

Brief description Understanding the function of the brain is a major frontier of scientific research. The ability to increase knowledge of brain function is reliant upon the development of novel methods. This application will develop a novel approach for understanding the function of particular nerve cells. One outcome will be demonstration of the applicability of a novel method of benefit to all brain researchers. Another outcome will be increased understanding of one brain region that is known to contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. It is expected that increased knowledge of brain function will lead to novel theories of brain disease and therapeutic strategies.
