ISTA Researcher Tim Vogels Receives $3 Million for Brain Research
Published
Neuroscientist Tim Vogels of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in Klosterneuburg near Vienna is receiving a grant of 3 million US dollars. The money is intended to be used for research on the brain.
Vogels is concerned with the question of how nerve cells communicate with one another and how large networks of neurons process information. In doing so, he uses computer-based methods and mathematical models to better understand biological processes.
ISTA is an international research institution that focuses on basic research in the natural sciences. The fact that a researcher at the institution receives such a high grant shows that Austrian research also earns international recognition.
Which specific projects will be funded with the money, and through which funding program the sum was awarded, was not specified in more detail in the available information. Basic research on the brain can contribute in the long term to a better understanding of neurological diseases.
