Neuroscience Professor Gilad Barnea Receives $1.3M EUREKA Grant

Brown University neuroscience professor Gilad Barnea will receive a nearly $1.3 million, four-year federal grant toward development of a method to selectively monitor the activation of each of the five receptors for the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. If he succeeds, the achievement could lead to more targeted treatments for several mental illnesses and a number of other diseases.
