BRAIN/MINDS BEYOND

From an urge to make strategic international collaboration in order to contribute to the advancement of the brain science research across the world along with keeping up with the global race of the research strength, the Working Group for the Internationally Collaborative Brain Science Research Promotion was established under the Brain Science Committee of the Council for Science and Technology. Then, the discussion took place on the condition of "The brain research for society" planted here along with the global progression and the future direction and challenges of brain science research in Japan. Subsequently, the working group on a project for elucidating primate neural circuit functions adopted the mid-term report on proposals for promoting the project in August 2017. The Brain/MINDS Beyond, based on those contents, will strengthen collaboration with other brain science projects (e.g. Strategic Research Program for Brain Sciences (SRPBS), Brain Mapping by Integrated..
