NIH Continues Brown Support with $12M Grant to Explore the Fundamentals of Brain Function
“PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Brown University’s Center for Central Nervous System Function, part of the Carney Institute for Brain Science, has been awarded a $12 million grant renewal from the National Institutes of Health’s Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) program. The funding will support the research center for the next five years…
Eight projects were supported during phase one, with a general focus on normal and abnormal attention and decision-making. They included, among others:
Dr. Wael Asaad, an associate professor of neurosurgery and neuroscience at the Warren Alpert Medical School, focused on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and how it integrates sensory information. He found this specific brain region played a key role in assigning cause and effect, which is critical for learning.”
