On June 25, 2008, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted more than 70 of the leading neuroscientists in the world, for a workshop titled "From Molecules to Minds: Challenges for the 21st Century." The objective of the workshop was to explore a set of common goals or "Grand Challenges" posed by participants that could inspire and rally both the scientific community and the public to consider the possibilities for neuroscience in the 21st century. The progress of the past in combination with new tools and techniques, such as neuroimaging and molecular biology, has positioned neuroscience on the cusp of even greater transformational progress in our understanding of the brain and how its inner workings result in mental activity. This workshop summary highlights the important issues and challenges facing the field of neuroscience as presented to those in attendance at the workshop, as well as the subsequent discussion that resulted. As a result, three overarching Grand Challenges emerged: How does the brain work and produce mental activity? How does physical activity in the brain give rise to thought, emotion, and behavior? How does the interplay of biology and experience shape our brains and make us who we are today? How do we keep our brains healthy? How do we protect, restore, or enhance the functioning of our brains as we age? 606 $aBrain$xResearch$vCongresses 606 $aChemistry$xPhilosophy$vCongresses 606 $aNeurosciences$vCongresses 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aBiomedical Research 606 $aBrain Mapping 606 $aBrain$xphysiology 606 $aNervous System Diseases 608 $aConference Proceedings. 615 0$aBrain$xResearch 615 0$aChemistry$xPhilosophy 615 0$aNeurosciences 615 2$aNeurosciences. 615 2$aBiomedical Research. 615 2$aBrain Mapping. 615 2$aBrain$xphysiology. 615 2$aNervous System Diseases. 676 $a612.8 701 $aAltevogt$b Bruce M$01791694 701 $aHougan$b Matthew$01791695 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bForum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975230003321 996 $aFrom molecules to minds$94329414 997 $aUNINA
