Recently BRAINSCAPES member Dr. Danai Riga was awarded the Amsterdam UMC fellowship. The fellowship (750K euro) will support here in establishing her independent research line and expand her research group. As of the first of November, Dr. Riga starts her new position as team leader within the Functional Genomics (FGA) group of the CNCR. With this her official involvement in BRAINSCAPES come to an end, although her future research will further build upon findings acquired in the project. We took the opportunity to congratulate Dr. Riga and ask her a few questions.

Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience reveal new functional insights on the dopamine signals across the brain, and publish their findings in PNAS.

Researchers from the Amsterdam UMC, and part of the Brainscapes consortium, now show findings that challenge the status quo in the field of behavioral neuroscience.

Two co-leaders of the Brainscapes consortium have contributed to successfully map the different cell types of the motor cortex and other cortical areas in the brain.

An international research team has conducted large-scale genetic research into the different backgrounds of the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers discovered new genes and biological mechanisms that contribute to Alzheimer’s disease.
