The Brain Prize
The Brain Prize er en international hjerneforskningspris, der årligt uddeles af Lundbeckfonden til en eller flere forskere, der har udmærket sig ved et ekstraordinært bidrag til hjerneforskningen.[1] Prisen er på 10 mio. danske kroner og er verdens største hjerneforskningspris.[2] Prisen anerkender internationale, originale og indflydelsesrige fremskridt inden for alle områder af neurovidenskaben, herunder grundlæggende forskning i molekylære, cellulære, fysiologiske og farmakologiske mekanismer, undersøgelser af adfærd og kognition, fremskidt inden for teknologi til overvågning af nervesystemet og klinisk forskning om årsager, behandling og forebyggelse af neurologiske og psykiatriske lidelser.[3]

Prismodtagerne vælges af eksperter inden for hjerneforskning, som besidder relevant og omfattende viden på området, og som er respekterede af det internationale videnskabelige samfund.[4]
Vinderne skal efter kåringen være til rådighed for dansk hjerneforskning det efterfølgende år, således at danske hjerneforskere får mulighed for at lære af internationale topforskere.[5]
Historie
redigérPrisen blev første gang uddelt i 2011 med det formål at fremme interessen for hjerneforskning og stimulere dansk forskning ved at styrke samspillet med europæisk hjerneforskning og det videnskabelige grundlag for fremskidt inden for forebyggelse, diagnose og behandling af sygdomme i hjernen og nervesystemet.[3]

Prismodtagere
redigérÅr | Modtagere | Land | Motivation |
---|---|---|---|
2011[6] | Péter Somogyi | ”For their wide-ranging, technically and conceptually brilliant research on the functional organization of neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex, especially in the hippo¬campus, a region that is crucial for certain forms of memory"[7] | |
Tamás Freund | |||
György Buzsáki | |||
2012[2] | Christine Petit | "For their unique, world-leading contributions to our understanding of the genetic regulation of the development and functioning of the ear, and for elucidating the causes of many of the hundreds of inherited forms of deafness"[8] | |
Karen Steel | |||
2013[9] | Ernst Bamberg | "For their invention and refinement of optogenetics. This revolutionary technique allows genetically specified populations of neurons to be turned on or off with light, offering not only the ability to elucidate the characteristics of normal and abnormal neural circuitry but also new approaches to treatment of brain disorders"[10] | |
Edward Boyden | |||
Karl Deisseroth | |||
Peter Hegemann | |||
Gero Miesenböck | |||
Georg Nagel | |||
2014[11] | Giacomo Rizzolatti | "For their pioneering research on higher brain mechanisms underpinning such complex human functions as literacy, numeracy, motivated behaviour and social cognition, and for their efforts to understand cognitive and behavioural disorders"[12] | |
Stanislas Dehaene | |||
Trevor W. Robbins | |||
2015[13] | Winfried Denk | "For invention, refinement and use of two-photon microscopy to provide detailed, dynamic images of activity in individual nerve cells, dendrites and synapses, thereby transforming the study of development, plasticity and functional circuitry of the brain"[14] | |
Arthur Konnerth | |||
Karel Svoboda | |||
David W. Tank | |||
2016[15] | Timothy Bliss | "For their ground-breaking research on the cellular and molecular basis of Long-Term Potentiation and the demonstration that this form of synaptic plasticity underpins spatial memory and learning"[16] | |
Graham Collingridge | |||
Richard G. Morris | |||
2017[17] | Wolfram Schultz | "For their multidisciplinary analysis of brain mechanisms that link learning to reward, which has far-reaching implications for the understanding of human behaviour, including disorders of decision-making in conditions such as gambling, drug addiction, compulsive behaviour and schizophrenia"[18] | |
Peter Dayan | |||
Ray Dolan | |||
2018[19] | Bart De Strooper | "For their groundbreaking research on the genetic and molecular basis of Alzheimer’s disease, with far-reaching implications for the development of new therapeutic interventions as well as for the understanding of other neurodegenerative diseases of the brain'" | |
Michel Goedert | |||
Christian Haass | |||
John Hardy | |||
2019[19] | Marie-Germaine Bousser
Elisabeth Tournier-Lasserve Anne Joutel Hugues Chabriat |
"For 'their groundbreaking research on the clinical, genetic, cellular and molecular basis of a brain syndrome, known as CADASIL. Their achievement is a beautiful illustration of a clinical observation leading to fundamental discoveries about brain disease with implications for the understanding of causes of dementia, migraine and stroke." | |
2020[19] | Huda Zoghbi | "For their fundamental and pioneering work on Rett syndrome. Their work established the importance of epigenetic regulation in both brain development and the maintenance of normal adult brain function. It also points to novel opportunities for treatment of this and other neurodevelopmental disorders". | |
Adrian Bird | |||
2021 | Lars Edvinsson | "for their groundbreaking work on the causes and treatment of migraine" | |
Peter Goadsby | / | ||
Michael A. Moskowitz | |||
Jes Olesen | |||
2022 | Silvia Arber | "for having revolutionized our understanding of the neuronal cell types and circuits underlying movement."[20] | |
Ole Kiehn | |||
Martyn Goulding | / | ||
2023 | Michael E. Greenberg | "for having revolutionized our understanding of how neurons regulate the thousands of different proteins – the building blocks of life, that are needed to support brain development, plasticity and maintenance."[21] | |
Christine Holt | |||
Erin Schuman |
