Their goals were significant: Each participant was asked to identify one or two “Grand Challenges” that could galvanize both the scientific community and the public around the possibilities for neuroscience in the 21st century. This idea of identifying Grand Challenges has a strong history in science.

Neuroscience has made phenomenal advances over the past 50 years and the pace of discovery continues to accelerate. On June 25 2008 the Institute of Medicine IOM Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted more than 70 of the leading neuroscientists in the world for a workshop titled â From Molecules to Minds Challenges for the 21st The objective of the workshop was to explore a set of common goals or â mGrand Challengesâ posed by participants that could inspire and rally both the scientific community and the public to consider the possibilities for neuroscience in the 21st century. The progress of the past in combination with new tools and techniques such as neuroimaging and molecular biology has positioned neuroscience on the cusp of even greater transformational progress in our understanding of the brain and how its inner workings result in mental activity. This workshop summary highlights the important issues and challenges facing the field of neuroscience as presented to those in attendance at the workshop as well as the subsequent discussion that
