Excellent science, made in Europe: This year’s winner of the Körber European Science Prize, Erin Schuman, shares exciting insights on proteins, nerve cells, and the human brain. 🧠 ▶️Watch the video now! https://lnkd.in/d6za_cqc Erin Schuman is a pioneer in neurobiology. She discovered that and how proteins, as critical building blocks of the cells, are locally produced at the interfaces between neurons. Schuman’s newly discovered mechanism has revolutionised our understanding of the brain and opened up new avenues of research into serious brain disorders. “It truly is an awesome feat that individual brain cell can process a thousand or more different streams of information independently,” says Schuman, who is Director of the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt, Germany. She will receive the Körber European Science Prize in Hamburg on 20 September. 🎥Want to learn more about the brain and its synapses?
