McKnight Endowment Fund rau Neuroscience tau xaiv plaub txoj haujlwm kom tau txais 2019 Nco Txog thiab Txawj Ntse Cov Nyiaj Txiag. Cov khoom plig yuav tag nrho $ 1.2 lab peb xyoo rau kev tshawb fawb txog biology ntawm lub paj hlwb, nrog rau txhua qhov kev npaj txais $ 300,000 ntawm xyoo 2019 thiab 2021.
Lub cim xeeb thiab kev txawj ntse (MCD) Txuj kev txhawb los ntawm kev tshawb fawb los ntawm US cov kws tshawb fawb uas kawm txog kev mob hlwb thiab kev puas siab puas ntsws, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog cov ntsig txog kev nco thiab kev paub. Cov khoom plig txhawb cov kev sib raug zoo ntawm cov kab mob ntsig txog kev sim thiab kev soj ntsuam kom paub cov kev tshawb nrhiav txog lub hlwb thiab lub paj hlwb mus rau kev kuaj mob thiab kev kho mob kom pab tau tib neeg kev noj qab haus huv.
"Xyoo no lub McKnight Memory / Cognitive Disorders puav pheej cov neeg tau txais txiaj ntsig ib zaug dua ib co txuj ci zoo tshaj plaws nyob thoob plaws hauv lub tebchaws. Cov kws tshawb fawb no yog cov lus nug txog kev nco txog kev ua haujlwm li cas, thiab lawv siv cov kev txiav txim siab kom nkag siab txog cov teebmeem hauv lub hlwb ntawm qee yam ntawm lub hlwb thiab lub hlwb kev xav uas peb muaj niaj hnub no, "said Wendy Suzuki, Ph.D. ntawm pawg txeeb khoom plig thiab xib fwb Neural Science thiab Psychology nyob New York University.
Cov kev qhuas no yog kev txhawb siab los ntawm William L. McKnight, uas tau tshawb nrhiav qhov McKnight Foundation hauv xyoo 1953 thiab xav los txhawb kev tshawb fawb ntawm cov kab mob cuam tshuam kev nco. Nws tus ntxhais, Virginia McKnight Binger, thiab McKnight Foundation pawg thawj coj txhim tsa lub McKnight neuroscience program hauv nws txoj kev yawm suab hauv xyoo 1977.
Txog rau plaub khoom plig raug muab txhua xyoo. Cov neeg tsim nyog xyoo no yog:
Denise Cai, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Neuroscience, Icahn Tsev Kawm Ntawv ntawm Tshuaj ntawm Mount Sinai
Circuit Mechanisms of Memory-Txuas: Cai Cai txoj kev tshawb fawb yuav tshawb txog tias txoj kev puas ntsuaj puas ntsws zoo li cas hauv lub hlwb mus rau lwm yam kev nco. Qhov kev cia siab yog tias qhov kev tshawb fawb no yuav ua rau kev nkag siab rau hauv kev nco mob xws li Kev Tshaj Tawm Tom Qab Tiv Thaiv Kab Mob Tom qab.
Xin Jin, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, Lub Salk Lub Koom Haum rau Kev Tshawb Fawb
Kev Hloov Striatal Patch thiab Matrix Cov Chaw Kawm Rau Kev Kawm Txuj Ci: Dr. Jin yuav tshawb xyuas cov txheej txheem ntawm lub hlwb hauv lub hlwb pabcuam rau kev kawm, khaws cia, rov ua thiab ua kom tiav txoj haujlwm "lub sijhawm ua haujlwm" kom paub meej txog cov kev mob uas muaj teebmeem xws li Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Ilya Monosov, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, Washington University School of Medicine hauv St. Louis
Lub Neuronal Mechanisms ntawm Cov Ntaub Ntawv Tshawb Nrhiav Kev Tsis Txaus Siab: Dr. Monosov tabtom tshawb txog tias lub hlwb tshawb nrhiav, qhov tseem ceeb thiab siv cov ntaub ntawv los daws qhov tsis paub tseeb txog lub neej yav tom ntej. Txoj haujlwm no tuaj yeem pab tiv thaiv teeb meem ntawm cov kev mob uas tshwm sim los ntawm kev txiav txim siab ntawm kev txiav txim siab tsis zoo thiab tsis muaj kev pheej hmoo / nqi zog.
Vikaas Sohal, MD, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry thiab Weill Institute rau Neurosciences, University of California, San Francisco
Siv Cov Kev Khiav Haujlwm Tshiab Rau Kev Them Ntaus Teeb Tsom Xam Pom Li Cas Prefabal Dopamine Receptors Pab Ua rau Gamma Oscillations thiab Cwj Pwm Coj Tus Cwj Pwm: Dr. Sohal's lab yog tshawb nrhiav lub hlwb ua kom paub ua ntej thaum muaj kev hloov cov cai thiab lub luag haujlwm ntawm cov paj hlwb thiab hlwb chem nyob rau hauv cov txheej txheem no; cov kev tshawb fawb yuav ua rau cov kev kho mob rau cov neeg muaj tus mob schizophrenia.
Nrog rau 93 ntawv ntawm lub hom phiaj uas tau txais lub xyoo no, qhov khoom plig zoo heev. Ib pawg neeg ntawm cov kws tshawb fawb tau xyuas cov ntawv thiab caw cov kws tshawb fawb tau xaiv cov tswv yim tshiab. Ntxiv rau Dr. Suzuki, pawg neeg suav nrog Sue Ackerman, Ph.D., UCSD; BJ Casey, Ph.D., Yale University; Robert Edwards, MD, UCSF; Ming Guo, MD, Ph.D., UCLA; Steven E. Petersen, Ph.D., Washington University hauv St. Louis; thiab Matthew Shapiro, Ph.D., Albany Qhov Chaw Kho Mob.
Cov ntawv sau npe ntawm cov khoom plig rau xyoo 2020 tau them rau thaum lub Plaub Hlis 1, xyoo 2019.
Hais txog McKnight Endowment Fund rau Neuroscience
McKnight Endowment Fund rau Neuroscience yog ib lub koom haum ywj pheej uas tsuas yog los ntawm McKnight Foundation ntawm Minneapolis, Minnesota, thiab coj los ntawm pawg thawj coj ntawm cov neeg paub txog paj hlwb ntawm ib ncig ntawm lub teb chaws. Lub koom haum McKnight Foundation tau txhawb kev tshawb nrhiav txog kev nyuab siab txij thaum xyoo 1977. Lub Foundation tau tsim Lub Chaw Khiav Hauj Lwm Nyiaj Txiag hauv xyoo 1986 los ua kom tiav ib qho ntawm qhov kev xav ntawm founder William L. McKnight (1887-1978), yog ib tus thawj coj ntawm lub tuam txhab 3M.
Lub Tswv Yim Pab Txhawb (Endowment Fund) ua rau peb hom kev qhuas txhua lub xyoo. Ntxiv rau lub cim xeeb thiab Cognitive Disorders Txeeb, lawv yog cov McKnight Technological Innovations nyob rau hauv Neuroscience Awards, kev muab cov txiaj ntsig cov noob los tsim cov khoom tsim los tsim kev tshawb nrhiav lub hlwb; thiab McKnight Scholar Awards, txhawb cov neuroscientists hauv cov theem thaum ntxov ntawm lawv qhov kev tshawb nrhiav haujlwm.
