From the Research Front
|
The
Human Brain Project receives money for neuroinformatics research
from one of the National Institutes of Health named the National
Institute of Mental Health. The goal of this institute, funded
with tax dollars that are approved by Congress, is to help people
with different types of mental illness, and their families, by
searching for answers as to what happens in the brain when mental
illness develops. With the knowledge they gain
through research, neuroscientists hope to find new treatments
and new ways to prevent mental illness. |
