Five UCLA faculty members, including several IDRE collaborators, were honored with one of 17 Next Generation Networks for Neuroscience (NeuroNex) awards by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help advance brain research. UCLA’s two-year, $1.83 million award helps fund the Neuronex Neurotechnology Hub, which will develop and share next-generation miniaturized in vivo sensing devices that integrate optical and electrophysiological recording from hundreds or thousands of neurons in behaving animals. NeuroNex is one element of Understanding the Brain, NSF’s multi-year effort to enable a scientific understanding of the full complexity of the brain.
