Jennifer N. Bourne Prize in Brain Ultrastructure
The Jennifer N. Bourne Prize in Brain Ultrastructure, funded by Kristen M. Harris, recognizes an early-career neuroscientist for outstanding work that advances our understanding of brain structure and structure-function relationships at the nanometer scale.
The prize may be awarded for discoveries made through visualization, reconstruction, measurement, and theoretical modeling of ultrastructural components including synapses and other junctions, the cytoskeletons, ribosomes, organelles, and other subcellular structures, or for advances in relevant technologies such as sample preservation, imaging, reconstruction, and data storage and dissemination.
Recipients receive a $5,000 prize and complimentary registration, transportation (economy air or ground), and two nights hotel accommodations for the SfN annual meeting. The prize is presented at the SfN annual meeting.
