The Brain Prize Ceremony 2013 at the Black Diamond, Copenhagen
The Grete Lundbeck European Brain Prize Ceremony 2013
In May 2013, Denmark's
1 million euro brain research prize was awarded to six leading
scientists for the development of ‘optogenetics’, a revolutionary
technique that advances our understanding of the brain and its
disorders.
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik presented the prize to the prize winners, Austrian Gero
Miesenböck, Germans Ernst Bamberg, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel, and
Americans Ed Boyden and Karl Deisseroth.
Together these scientists laid the
foundation for a revolutionary technique optogenetics which will
provide us with entirely new, fundamental knowledge of the complicated
functions of the brain.
Optogenetics makes it easier to investigate
diseases of the brain such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease,
epilepsy, pain disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD and addiction. It will
play a significant role in the understanding of these disorders and,
over time, in the development of a treatment for them.
