The BRAIN Blog

Dr. Lucas Tian is an F32 award recipient who used the funding opportunity to study the neural mechanisms of behavior. The F32 funding opportunity supports the research training of promising postdoctorates early in their postdoctoral training period.

Technology is the backbone of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® Initiative, or The BRAIN Initiative®. In a virtuous cycle of technology and knowledge, new tools open doors for discovery, which in turn drive the design of new and better tools.
