The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, NWO, has awarded almost 3 million euros to seven recently appointed principal investigators in physics and chemistry. One of the laureates of these so-called ‘START-UP’ grants is Daan Brinks.
Brain signals at the nanoscale
Daan Brinks
Brain signals start with electrical pulses in nanoscopically small parts of the cell: the synapses. The researcher will visualise those miniscule signals to discover how they lead to communication in brain cells and how that can go wrong. This might contribute to the treatment of brain diseases in the future.
