On September 30, the InteRussia programme participants in medicine delved into the Skoltech Center for Neurobiology and Brain Rehabilitation's exciting work.
Founded in 2018, Skoltech Neuro is engaged in scientific research and innovative developments for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of nervous and cognitive disorders. It strives to be a leader in the field of neurobiology in Russia, driving forward new discoveries and breakthroughs that will transform the understanding and treatment of neurological and cognitive disorders.
As part of the event, our fellows attended the Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interfaces and the Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience. Here, they uncovered some techniques that are used to study the brain and heal neurological and mental diseases:
They also learned how fundamental research paves the way for developing clinical methods used to assess and rehabilitate patients after neurological сonditions.
The InteRussia fellowship programme in medicine is implemented by ANO "Mezhdunarodniki" in collaboration with the Gorchakov Fund, the Sechenov University and Rossotrudnichestvo with grant support from the Presidential Grants Fund.

As part of the event, our fellows attended the Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interfaces and the Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience. Here, they uncovered some techniques that are used to study the brain and heal neurological and mental diseases:
- transcranial magnetic stimulation that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells and influence the brain's natural electrical activity;
- metabolite extraction from plasma that helps to better understand metabolic changes linked to brain disorders;
- molecular methods for studying biological fluids and tissues.
They also learned how fundamental research paves the way for developing clinical methods used to assess and rehabilitate patients after neurological сonditions.
