ERC projects to unlock mysteries of the human brain
Human brain
More than 200 research projects have been funded for a total budget of over € 250 million. About 15% of the projects funded in life sciences have a strong neuroscience component. Many of these projects address research and public health challenges and explore emerging areas in neurosciences. Questions addressed by some ERC projects deal for instance with memory and information coding in the brain, genesis and repair of the nervous system, empathy and emotion processes, cell and gene therapy for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, computation models for manmachine interaction or retinal degeneration and blindness.

How is your brain powered?

The brain is one of the most energy-consuming organs. It represents only 2% of the weight of an adult but it uses 20% of the energy produced by the body. Efficient energy supply is crucial for the brain so that our memory, mobility and senses can…

Unveiling how our genome is protected

Conducting research in small RNAs, Dr. Ramesh Pillai attempts to understand how the genome protects itself from an internal threat, namely ‘transposons’ or ‘jumping genes’ which can cause mutations. Awarded an ERC Starting grant in 2010, Dr. Pillai…
