You may however succeed if you list specific neuroscience projects that you want to be financially supported, e.g.:
- finding a substance that will cause neurogenesis in adults (in other than dentate gyrus parts of the brain);
- finding a substance for speeding up neuroplasticity
- etc.
If people see you work on interesting projects, they might be inclined to co-finance those project which are of interest to them.
Good point - I included my publication list to show the types of projects that we publish. We currently have data showing that polyphenolic compounds found in many plants (typically those with red/blue pigmentation) can dramatically increase neurogenesis (birth of new neurons) in adults, along with improving learning, memory, and other cognitive abilities (indirectly suggestive of increased neuroplasticity). Our current main project involves figuring out how to use these chemicals to help prevent or reduce damage in Alzheimer's, stroke, TBI, etc... as well as general cognitive enhancers (which is what many of us are actually interested in, but it's most difficult to get funding for improving performance of normal individuals)
