Focus on the neuroscience toolbox
The pace of technological development in neuroscience is accelerating, providing researchers with powerful new tools to drive their experiments and ask new questions. Keeping up with this wave of new technology can be challenging, and decisions about which tools to use and how best to use them can be difficult. Nature Neuroscience presents a special focus issue on the neuroscience toolbox highlighting recent technological advances, approaches and collaborative initiatives that are enabling new avenues of research.
The Kavli Foundation: Supporting Neuroscience and the BRAIN Initiative
Founded by Fred Kavli in 2000, The Kavli Foundation is dedicated to the goals of advancing science for the benefit of humanity and promoting increased public understanding and support for scientists and their work. The BRAIN Initiative is just one example of how The Kavli Foundation continues to advance the pursuit of science.
As demonstrated by the articles in this Nature Neuroscience Focus issue, the BRAIN Initiative has led to the development of a wide range of innovative tools and approaches that are revolutionizing our understanding of the brain. If you would like to learn more about other success stories, or ways that you can get involved yourself, please visit http://www.braininitiative.org. We look forward to how these exciting technologies and exciting discoveries will revolutionize our understanding of the brain in the years to come.
