The German Research Foundation (DFG) will fund a new Collaborative Research Centres (CRC) led by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) from 1 April 2025. The new CRC 1690, entitled “Disease Mechanisms and Functional Restoration of Sensory and Motor Systems”, will receive more than twelve million euros for an initial funding period of just under four years. MBExC spokesperson Prof. Dr. Tobias Moser, Director of the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience at the UMG, is the spokesperson of the CRC 1690. The new CRC aims to improve existing therapies for patients with sensory and motor impairments and to find new treatment approaches. As sensory and motor activities in the nervous system are closely intertwined, a better understanding of the precise processing of this information in the brain and the underlying disease mechanisms at the molecular and cellular level is required.
