美国白宫4月2日正式公布一项被认为可与人类基因组计划相媲美的脑科学研究计划(以下简称“脑计划”),以探索人类大脑工作机制,绘制脑活动全图,针对目前无法治愈的大脑疾病开发新疗法。这项计划有三大特点,即通过公私合作的方式完成,潜在影响力深远,同时面临艰巨挑战。过去10年中,科学家已在脑科学领域取得了一系列重要发现,为实施“脑计划”打下基础。这些发现包括人类基因组测序,研制出为神经连接绘图的新工具,提高造影技术的分辨率等。现在科学家利用光脉冲确认大脑中具体的细胞活动如何影响行为,还可利用高分辨率造影技
On April 2, the White House formally announced a brain science research project (hereinafter referred to as “brain plan”) that is considered to be comparable to the human genome project to explore the working mechanism of the human brain and draw a picture of the brain activity for the present Intractable brain disease develops new therapies. The plan has three major characteristics, namely, through the way of public-private cooperation, with potentially far-reaching influence and facing daunting challenges. Over the past 10 years, scientists have made a series of important discoveries in the field of brain science, laying the groundwork for the implementation of the “brain plan.” These findings include sequencing of the human genome, development of new tools for mapping neural connections, and improved resolution of imaging techniques. Now scientists use light pulses to confirm how specific cellular activity in the brain affects behavior. High-resolution imaging can also be used
