以阐明脑和神经系统工作原理和运行机制为目标的脑科学(神经科学)最近掀起新的高潮.美国、欧盟、日本等相继推出了各自的脑计划.鉴于脑科学在整个自然科学领域中的前沿地位和重要性,以及经济、社会发展对这个学科的重大需求,中国神经科学家们以不遑多让的历史使命感,大力呼吁推出我国自己的脑计划,通过我国脑科学研究的跨越式发展,回应西方发达国家在这一领域的强势出击.两年来,在有关部门的领导下,中国脑计划的筹划工作沿着一条基本正确的轨道不断往前推进.作为一项重大 Brain science (neuroscience), which aims to elucidate the working principles and mechanisms of the brain and nervous system, has recently set off a new upsurge in the United States, the European Union, Japan and others that have each launched their own brain plans. Given that brain science in the entire field of natural science Leading position and importance, as well as the significant economic and social development needs of this subject, Chinese neuroscientists have called for the launch of our own brain plan by leaps and bounds in the historical mission. By leaps and bounds in our brain research, In response to the strong attack on the developed western countries in this area over the past two years, under the leadership of relevant departments, the planning of China’s brainpower plan has been moving forward along a basically correct path. As a major
