What is the goal of this prize?

这个奖项的目的是什么？

　　The aim of this prize is to acknowledge how neurobiology represents an increasingly active and important role in the advancement of our understanding of the functioning of the nervous system and the brain. This international prize was established in 2002, in order to encourage promising young neurobiologists to continue working on their research, by providing financial support in the early stages of their careers. Since then, every year the prize is awarded to the young scientist who developed the most outstanding neurobiological research.

　　该奖项的设立是为了认可神经生物学在促进我们对神经系统和大脑功能的理解方面所发挥的日益积极和重要的作用。这个国际奖项设立于2002年，目的是鼓励有前途的年轻神经生物学家继续从事他们的研究，在他们事业的早期阶段提供财力支持。自此，该奖项每年都颁发给对神经生物学研究做出杰出贡献的年轻科学家。

获奖者介绍

　　·         2019: Ph.D. Lauren Orefice–Massachusetts General Hospital & Harvard Medical School, for her work on the causes and potential therapies for autism spectrum disorders. Dr. Orefice’s work studies the development and function of somatosensory circuits and the ways in which somatosensation is altered in developmental disorders.

　　2019：Lauren Orefice博士—马萨诸塞州总医院和哈佛医学院，从事自闭症谱系障碍的病因和潜在治疗方面的工作。Orefice博士的工作是研究体感回路的发育和功能，以及在发育障碍中体感改变的方式。

　　·         2018: Ph.D. Johannes Kohl–Harvard University, for his work on Functional Circuit Architecture underlying Parental Behavior.
