NEURON Cofund2

NEURON Cofund2 is sponsored by ERA-NET NEURON (European Commission). The NEURON Cofund2 project aims to align national funding strategies and advance research into brain and nervous system diseases, including mental disorders, neurological conditions (except neurodegeneration), and sensory disorders.

MulioBio: Rethinking Psychiatric Disorders – A Shift from Diagnostic Labels to Biological Mechanisms The MulioBio project – funded under ERA-Net NEURON’s 2019 Call – set out to challenge traditional boundaries in psychiatry by identifying biological markers that correlate with symptoms—regardless of formal diagnosis.

ENTRUST-PE: A New Framework for Trustworthy Pain Research ENTRUST-PE project – funded under ERA-Net NEURON’s 2022 Networking Group Call -brought together an international network of experts to address a critical question at the heart of scientific integrity: How can we build a more trustworthy foundation for chronic pain research?

ELSA Project FUTUREBODY: Exploring Neurotechnology’s Impact on Society and the Human Body The FUTUREBODY project, a German-Austrian-Canadian collaboration funded under ERA-Net NEURON’s ELSA-JTC2017, examined the implications of recent and future progress in neurotechnology for society and our understanding of the human body and mind. The project ran from 2017 to 2022.

Project AUTISYN: Modelling Syndromic Autism Caused By Mutations in the ADNP Gene AUTISYN, a multinational collaboration funded under NEURON’s JTC2015, aimed at studying the ADNP gene and its implications in autism.

Project DiSCoVeR: Examining the synergistic effects of a cognitive control videogame and a home-based, self-administerd non-invasive brain stimulation on alleviating depression DiSCoVeR, a multinational collaboration funded under NEURON’s JTC2018 call, is set to examine the effects of a novel, home-based treatment approach to alleviate depression.

To achieve this, a videogame training cognitive control combined with non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is self-applied by the patients in the comfort of their home, offering promising prospects for wider accessibility, compliance and effectiveness.

ELSA Project PNS: Psychiatric Neurosurgery ─ Ethical, Legal and Societal Issues Project PNS is a multinational collaboration funded under NEURON’s JTC2015 co-funded call for research projects on ethical, legal and social aspects (ELSA) of neuroscience.

The project goals were investigating ethical, legal, and societal issues of all kinds of contemporary psychiatric neurosurgery (PNS) and publishing recommendations for a responsible use of PNS.

Project BIO-AX-TBI: Developing and Validating Blood and Imaging Biomarkers of Axonal Injury Following Traumatic Brain Injury BIO-AX-TBI, a multinational collaboration funded under NEURON’s JTC2016 co-funded call, aimed at finding applicable ways to measure axonal injury for guiding treatment choices and predicting the recovery of Traumatic Brain Injury patients.

Project AxonRepair – Spinal cord repair: releasing the neuron-intrinsic brake on axon regeneration AxonRepair, a multinational collaboration funded under NEURON’s JTC2016 co-funded call, aims to promote axon regeneration in the spinal cord.
