THE NEUROSCIENCE PRIZE

The Neuroscience Prize is presented to a leading scientist, or group of scientists, for distinguished work in the field of the brain, nervous system and the spinal cord.

The brain is an inner cosmos with possibilities of infinite explorations.

The Prize, established in 2004, is an unrestricted cash award of $500,000, a gold medal inscribed with the recipient's name, and a citation describing the achievement for which the recipient is being honored, is awarded each year to a person or persons chosen by a distinguished advisory board of neuroscience experts.

"We believe that a Neuroscience Prize is not only a timely addition to a field with the potential to dominate the century, but that in focusing on understanding this magnificent structure we call the brain, we will shine light on a field that has much to contribute for at least the next hundred years."

Peter Gruber, Chairman
