EBRI congratulates Silvia Arber for receiving The Brain Prize.
Together with Martyn Goulding and Ole Kiehn, Arber was awarded the prestigious prize ‘for having revolutionized our understanding of the neuronal cell types and circuits that control movement’.
The Brain Prize is the world’s most prestigious neuroscience research award. Each year, it is awarded by the Lundbeck Foundation for original and influential advances in a field of brain research, from basic neuroscience to applied clinical research. Since it was first awarded in 2011, The Brain Prize has been awarded to 41 researchers, among them Graham Collingridge, member of the EBRI International Scientific Council.
In 2019 Professor Arber delivered the EBRI Rita Levi-Montalcini Lecture on ‘Circuit solutions for programming Actions’.
