[WHITE PAPER] How to address the versatile challenges of neurosciences?

Structural and functional study of the nervous system, also known as Neuroscience, is one of the scientific fields that has always crystallized the hopes and fantasy of humankind — not only in terms of disease understanding and treatment but also in terms of capacity improvement. Despite the tremendous progress made since Ramon y Cajal’s pioneering work introducing the neuronal doctrine at the beginning of the XXth century, the path leading to a complete understanding of the nervous system’s secrets remains long. Neuroscience is also the field highlighting more than any other the need for interdisciplinarity, as scientists need to explore phenomena from the molecular level to the scale of the entire organism passing by various cellular aspects such as interactions neuron-neuron or neuron-glia. Therefore, the challenges encountered by neuroscientists are multiple and varied.
