The Brain Under Siege: A Call to Save UK Neuroscience
An editorial in the journal Brain sounds a stark alarm about the precarious state of preclinical neuroscience research in the United Kingdom. It argues that the foundational research pipeline, essential for understanding and treating neurological disorders, is facing a systemic crisis. The piece suggests that without urgent intervention and strategic support, the UK risks losing its capacity to make fundamental discoveries that underpin future clinical advances.
Why it might matter to you:
The stability of the preclinical research ecosystem directly impacts the foundational knowledge upon which studies of neurodevelopmental disorders are built. A weakened pipeline could limit the availability of new mechanistic insights and experimental models crucial for your research. Understanding these systemic pressures is key for navigating future funding landscapes and advocating for the resources necessary to sustain discovery in your field.
