Neural biomarkers discovered for obsessive-compulsive disorderResearchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Amsterdam UMC have identified what happens in neural networks deep within the brain during obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours. Using electrodes implanted in the brain, they observed how specific brain waves became active. These brain waves serve as a biomarker for OCD and are an important step towards more targeted treatments.
Veni grants for three APH researchersThe Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded Veni grants to 200 promising researchers from across all scientific disciplines, including three APH researchers. Each researcher is awarded a maximum of 320,000 euros which enables them to further develop their own research ideas over the next three years. Congratulations to the APH researchers on receiving this grant!
